Great circuit, long and fast... first couple of laps I was all over the shop even with Jamie giving me pointers.

Best session was just after lunch, really started to get a grip on it, but a lot to learn.... love that Parabolica, nice fast back end with long straights then you blast out the last corner onto start stop straight and T1 is super quick... what a circuit.

The guys I garaged with were all in the fast group, so good to watch them hammering past, Rab Carson set a cracking time, just a tad behind Scooby..

it's an awesome track,takes a while to trust yourself+bike over the blind crests,but once you get your head around it flows really well.turn 1 is a very late turn in,a lot later than you think,but get it right and it's a place you can make a lot of time up as you get a great drive down the avenue into cascades.

Im here tomorrow for my first track day on my bike, really looking forward to it. Got a real worry art the moment though you may all be able to answer. Ive got a two piece leather suit, is it ok that it only zips about 80% of the way? on the on line guide they said zip up all the way

 

[scooby]

no wont do,needs to zip fully the way round

 

[Ste M]

Honestly? ****. When I booked it people said it was ok in two piece, its just the front little bit it doesn't zip up

 

[stuartb]

No one will see it mate relax.. hang on is it the waist or front.. you said up ?

2 peice is fine,they say has to be full zip all the way around,but i'm assuming 80% is full ish?

Sorry. No it's the waist that's about 80%

If its a 10-15cm gap at the front of the waist thats about normal for a 2 piece that zips 'all the way around' they cannot go 100%.

The ones they are not allowing are the ones that only connect across the back.

No issues with the leathers lads thanks, panicked a bit there.

On another note, I think I have a new hobby, track day was awesome

 

[scooby]

get yourself a 1 peice set.
then,spare wheels,trailer,warmers,track fairings and by the end of the year an actual track bike
