Another trackday video

MouseMat2004 · 5 Jun 2011 at 10:17

Did my first trackday of the year on Friday. Awesome weather, but probably too hot to be fair. Still had a good time.

Camera angle isnt straight so looks like I'm not leaning very far on the rights and getting massive lean on the lefts

little bit of a shame.

1) that track looks so boring! (i did mallory the other day and i thought that was a simple track!)

2) it wouldnt be hard to be in the fast group on that track.

3) nice one for doing a track day and getting vids!

Ha cheers. Apart from it being a crap track and me being a crap rider, it's nice that I got out on a track

Any track is better than no track and it was only £50 for the whole day. It's a very physical track with zero rest. It certainly isnt Donington/Cadwell etc.

Looks like a good track to start out on and learn the disciplines of racing. Doesn't look too exciting to watch but I don't doubt it was fun to ride

I think it looks like it could be a laugh to ride, tracks don't need to be complicated, Thruxton is incredibly simple, but really fun to ride

I noticed you got quicker over the session through that chicane that isn't really a chicane, watching that made me want to attempt it flat, was the video flattering how little you had to move through it or am I just insane?

You just straight line it. It's only there to reduce the speed for that corner due to the lack of run off, else there's a good chance you'll land in someones caravan next door
