I've found, in general, that the novice groups have been pretty good, I could only point to one incident where someone passed me in a rather manner and that's out of a fair number of trackdays.
You can also tilt things to your advantage a little if you want by going out at the back of the group or by being intentionally slow on the straight so everything gets past you easily there, leaving you free to concentrate on the corners by yourself.
Personally, I give anyone in a bib a wide berth, not only for their peace of mind, but for mine too - feck knows what line they're going to take. |

Keith its confirmed the extension won't be ready in time for the 25th April ( it should however have been up and sorted by the week commencing 11th) but nevermind we will put a bed in the house somewhere for you.
The hallway or kitchen or maybe even the garage . Oh that's right the beds already in the garage |

Last year I ran a group exclusive to first timers, yes some of them were ladys , some of them really did have the ability to run with the fast group ! (really funny to see a little lass on a cbr400 making the 998 boys look daft!). so it really is better to look at riding at a circuit that is not too daunting (Llandow/Pembrey/ Mallory etc)
I think the problem with most riders who have not done a trackday before is that they get into such a panic that they tend to wind themselves up so much they either dont turn up at all or only go out once
I really dont understand why so many new trackriders go to the major circuits (Donnington/Cadwell/Oulton/ Silverstone etc)
There are a huge number of events and more circuits in the uk open for trackdays so why not start at the begining and enjoy the experience .
I will NEVER understand riders that book into the slow group that want to massage there fragile egoes by scareing genuine newbies but it does happen on every day- especially "groups" showing off to each other just so that they can go and boast on internet forums etc how they kicked ass You know its true |
