OCUK Trackday
- Thread starter SPG
- Start date
The first one I linked to is a noisy day but its bit more expensive. Like the sound of those chrono days as well. Never done one before.
Sounds fantastic
CHRONO DAYS BIKE
FOCUSED EVENTS GOES CHRONO!
'CHRONO DAYS' COME TO THE UK AFTER EXTENSIVE CHRONO TESTING AT OUR EUROPEAN EVENTS, A MOVE WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE ENJOYMENT AND SMOOTH RUNNING OF TRACKDAYS.
Having tested the CHRONO system on our European events the feedback we received from you was a resounding 'YES'. In 2012 we rolling this out at selected events in the UK and believe in the future it will be at all our 'group based' trackdays.
On these special 'CHRONO' days riders will be monitored and then allocated into the correct groups according to their times. This is particularly important to build up the confidence of newer riders, by moving the faster ones into a more appropriate group.
Ex-World Superbike Champion and committed Focused Events instructor Neil Hodgson has assessed the new timing system on our events and said "Transponders add another dimension to a trackday. Ultimately there is a massive range of ability on trackdays and this helps group riders accordingly".
Events operating the 'CHRONO' system are clearly indicated on the "UK BikeTrack Days" page. Take a look at the list. If there was never a Trackday before today....the 1st Trackday tomorrow would automatically be on a CHRONO system....its the future for better, more fun and safer trackdays!
Timing Transponders - How it works:
In the morning after you have signed on as normal you will then go to the fitting area. You will need a transponder bracket on your bike but don't worry if you haven't got one as we can supply these for a modest fee of £2. A small rechargeable transponder is easily fitted to your bike and works in conjunction with our timing system at the track and at the start/finish line. The small removable bracket can be kept to make things even quicker the next time round.
Every time you zip past the timing point on the start/finish line, your individually coded transponder sends a signal to a detector on the track and our system records the information.
This provides important information which builds an accurate picture of the riders on the event.
Group names Novice, Intermediate and Experienced will be finished - replaced by group names simply called 1,2 and 3 and your group will be based on 'your level' within that event.
Giving much better quality track time and safer riding.
The laps from the track day are kept and over time the rider data grows. In 18 months time we expect to be able to map out the events accurately right from the start!
This is what some people have to say about our chrono days:
'Well done on the new way of running days with a transponder. Fantastic idea and the way you will group people is excellent, Top stuff! See you soon'
- Derek Kendall
'I will feel a lot safer on circuit knowing I will be riding with people at similar speeds!'
- Adrian Cole
We are really excited about taking track days forward once again. It's good to 'Stay Focused'.
Not sure where I am on db - I have the baffle, but have probably lost the bolt to hold it in.
Chrono day looks like a great idea - Do you get shuffled around the different groups between each session depending on what your time on the previous session was? How do they know which group to stick you in initially?
