Booked on this with my mate, will be my first time there. Looking forward to seeing the track as i will be watching the GP there later this year. Will be running 14/42 gearing, hope it stays dry!

Trackday report
Weather, dry/cloudy pm sunshine
Track, mega fast but a bit bland in my opinion. New curbs are polished bumpy concrete!!! All the tarmacs there but lots of markings to fit yet, Outfield still a bit of a building site
Company, went with my mate who managed to stay on longer than the first session this time. Also hooked up with Neil, one of the Focused instructors who showed me round the circuit. Top fella and brought my times right down.
Fave corner was i think Coppice? 1st corner after the pits......super fast, blind and sweeping!
Food, full english was lovely and not too over priced lol
Bike, went really well considering my gearing was too short. Quick action throttle is a wrist saver. Noticed im getting quite a bit of vibration from somewhere though!
