And so the day begins.

Fingers crossed that the weather buggers off and the sun shines through.

The day turned out sunny and warm.
I had a great day. Thank you to Mark and Simon for all your help and encouragement. It was a huge help and much appreciated. I would recommend this track day, especially for newbies, , it was so relaxed and everyone was friendly and welcoming.

That was a great day, good to meet some more faces from swp. Nice weather after the damp patch in the early morning.
The track was a lot of fun, loved the long sweeping bends.

Thanks to Si and everyone who made it happen, friendly/informative marshalls etc
cheers to stevebinary and co for ramp loading assis

till next time :-bd

Did anyone happen to glance at their speedo whilst at Llandow, or have GPS?

I've watch some of the vids but I'm just wondering what is the max speed you guys tend to reach out there?

Mine indicated a 125 down the home straight but thats not gps but it is standard gearing.

Pretty sure all the novice group had a good day with lots of development in capability throughout.

Once the nerves had gone and the fun time switch had been flicked the throttles opened and lines became longer, smoother and quicker.

There was plenty of space on track as we had a few people not turn up so it was very relaxed in the group.

Big thanks to all the marshals for their time and patience throughout the day, you've again helped a lot of people have a lot of fun.

Roll on Next year!

That's good to know, as 120 is about the max I'd want to go on my naked.

You'll be more than fine at Llandow. It's not about top speed there, it's about having a laugh

Welcome Chris,
Always a good time there, even managed to tell the rain to buggers off on Friday.

Came back with bats and clubs on Saturday though.
