At long bleedin last i did it

Heres last years footage on board my blue bannana.

A slow lap behind the main man Dave ( it was a warm up lap) then let rip.

Was first session out so some strange lines and it did get red flagged which was due to Scottys crash i think but not before several overtakes

Enjoy

Your lines were looking fine at the end of the session mate

Isn't it funny how your fastest laps were every time you had a target in the distance...

thanks for posting -

The more I watch vids of it the more I think that S section looks awkward

Honestly mate it's not... basically it's a straight line with a bit of rumble strip rubbing...

If you mean the "S" section before the double right ( which Nick is on about ) Its just straight mate as i am sure Age will tell you. Took me ages to just go straight through it and then just counter steer hard and drop it for the right hander, My arse squeezes hard there as its fast and brave.

But if you mean the so called bus stop section, Then thats again as i am sure Age will tell you slower is deffo quicker.

I havn't listen to a word of advice from Age but between you and me he's right

Webber helped me last year on a section to which i was turning in to early and running out of track on the exit. This was the rights after the bus stop.

Pembrey has got the same thing with its double lefts, Get this right and you just over take everyone on the exit

yeh I mean the bus stop section it doesnt look like it flows if you get my drift

I have tried it in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

1st is too snatchy (jerky) when going for the 2nd right then the left

3rd is too low for a 600 anyway and you get blitz on the exit

2nd seems fine and just carry the flow of the bike rather then use the power and brakes if you get my gist.

Best let Age or Webber explain they are the quick ones.

I never bothered trying to do the bus stop fast, no-one will overtake anyway

JAY would.

As he would just go straight on and ByPass you all

you wont win races making up time in a bus stop chicane

does look very interesting and should be good fun

The Bus stop is one line and not the easiest to get right.

The Ducati was easier in my opinion to get out of it as it had the grunt in second gear.

The way in is funny one as the braking area is bumpy (get it wrong it's best to go straight on )if you run in to fast for the first left you hit the apex for the first right but your carring to much speed and you run wide for the second right.

the key is to get the apex on both rights then gas it out through the left kink, Steady in FAST OUT

I run through the bus stop in second, Blimey is right 1st is snatchy and 3rd bogs the motor down.


As for the esses it's straight through. the run into it on the brakes is my favorite passing place or the last right on the power around the out side

It's not a difficult track as such but the bumps can catch you out.

I think the key to this track is good brakes and a good front tyre !

In future I will be editing grass tracking incidents out of my vids
