Donington Park - Saturday 19th March - ?115

[Silver]

Due to demise of the Brands trackday I've looked for alternatives, and booked this.

Donington Park on a Saturday for £115. It's a joint TrackAttack / Jamie Whitham Speedfreak day (which means there's plenty of instruction and some famous riders kicking about apparently). There are three groups (steady, inters and fast) as well as some fast Go-Karts going out in between ( ) Track time is kept the same as they don't stop for lunch.

At the moment, the weather is good

How many places left on this?

As I may be interested in doing it, thats if my bike gets the all clear at the service on thursday that is.

[Silver]

When I called up earlier they still had spaces left in every group. I don't know how many though.

Me and M1ke are looking at doing this one though we a waiting a few days to see what the weathers like then.

The more the merrier. Craig said there's a few others coming down.

That's interesting - I've always treated Coppice as a double apex bend and that's not what it says to do:

Interesting, I allways thought it was a double apex too.
I think perhaps the higher corner speed you'll get if you let it run wide missing the second apex gives you and extra few mph going onto the back straight, which could turn into a fair speed increase by the end of it.

Unless your REALLY pushing it i don't think your likely to see a difference, so just go with which ever you feel more comfortable with.

Personally if i wasnt looking through the corner and was thinking about being over to the left i'd be in the gravel trap seconds later

Setting off for Donington now, really can't wait to get out on track!

Hi

Well, everybody survived unscathed.

Mike managed a bit of off roading when his clutch cable self adjusted itself. Craig aimed to get his knee down, then realised that doing this was putting him on the grass.

Silvers bike sounds like it is fitted with the whistle from a Stuka.

All the best
