An awsome trackday at Brands GP today. I did this as a tester to see how the old ticker held up and it did fine, although I was more exhausted than any other day I have been on. I could only do four sessions.

Why was this so good? I was bumped up into the fast group and normally I would say no, but I thought this time go for it. The speed of the guys was magnetic and pulled me around. I can honestly say I could hold my own amongst them, albeit I was probably in the bottom third of the group for pace. For evey three that overtook me, I would overtake one other.

Right hand knee slider is no longer a virgin and was regularly touching down in Druids, Clearways and a couple of times at Hawthorn. It was like busses, I wait three years and then several hits come along at once. Every time the slider touched down, I picked it up very quickly wondering WTF was happening!

A couple of wheelies (also my first) coming out of Surtees up the hill and I was was a happy and very tired bunny.

I have never ridden so fast before and whilst this may still be behind the quick guys and gals on here, I don't care, today I was a riding God! Laughing

I can happily retire from track days now.



Im well chuffed for you, i know 1st hand how hard track days are when your not at full health, GYKD is on my list of things to do this year after i came so close on the last track day.

Cant wait to watch you round the track again Marc Smile....you sexy riding dog! Embarrassed
