From what i gather they test stuff
And you'd be doing it here...Wonder if they'd let you have a quick blast around the loop.

Place is great, it's like a playground! If I was an hour closer I'd go, just for blasting about the access roads!

I was given a tour round there a year or so ago. They build their own simulators from scratch, even got an HGV cab on in a room where they get drivers pissed and make them drive on virtual roads to see how they get on.

Apparently the real HGV drivers complain the cab is too clean and isn't realistic unless some old Macdonalds wrappers and 'eau de sweat' is sprayed about.

*Update*

Got an e-mail today to confirm my attendance and to summarise what the aim of the day is.


The aim of the day is to test the feasibility of allowing motorcycles to use the Advanced Stop Lines (ASL) together with cyclists.
Bicycles currently have a feeder lane to the left of the lane, this test instroduces a seperate feeder lane on the right specifically for motorcycles.

The tests will involve approaching a junction using the feeder lanes and then moving off from the stop to an assigned direction. There will be cyclists involved in the test, no cars will be taking part.

There will be 5 sessions each of 35 minutes long with a minimum of 35 mintes break inbetween each session.

It will take place on a large central area of the test track, no riding on other parts of the track (booo!)

a few Ts and Cs, one in particular stuck out:
2. You must not walk in the bordering woods. There are wild animals, including poisonous snakes.

I'll report more soon

Think I might consider this, could be a laugh.

Incidentally, is it me, or are all our posts showing as being posted on the 11th of July..?

Edit; Ignore that...me being thick!

Looks like I'm doing the 19th too, unless they have a spare place this Sunday that is. They're going to let me know tomorrow.

Quite looking forward to it.. should be fun

Just got to remember not to treat the cyclists with as much disdain and lack of respect as I would do normally...
