Birthday Track day booked at Lydden Hill

[Ste]

Bet the rest of the group would have been thrilled to know that they were sharing the track with a CBT n00ber.

I assume that when you showed them your full (pink) driving license, they didn't look closely enough to notice that it's a full car entitlement with only provisional bike?

For the most part until you have full bike entitlement you aren't allowed on track but fair okay. Looked fun and as long as you enjoyed it

I think I'll make some enquiries with them in the week, to see what licence is required for trackdays, as you got me thinking maybe I got through as an oversight My misses is planning on booking me again for an xmas gift, so I don't want to go again, only to be turned away

From what I've since browsed on line, it looks like different requirements for different tracks, some stricter that others. Maybe It was a good job she didn't book me for Brands after all

I did wonder with your initial lap time equating to under a 35mph average (which suggests a good bit of the time you were a fair bit less than that ).

I've seen superteens (Aprilia RS125) doing fine in the fast group on their 'road' 125.
Personally I wouldn't choose to ride a 125 road bike at faster trackers, especially if less experienced - I'd worry someone would pile into me on the straights etc.
I've raced and managed something like an eleventh pace position in minitwins with a 35hp SV (person infront of me had 72hp), however I had a pretty decent pace on and my corner exit speed was decent enough, so made good use of those horses. Wouldn't want the same at a trackday given the choice generally.

I do rather expect it was an oversight - they saw the pink licence and presumed you were ok. Saying that, licence not checked at all at Mallory I believe. You've got no chance with MSV however.
