Nope - too busy coming home from Donington on the same day. Yay! Anyone doing that one??

Just moved house - bike, leathers, tyre warmers, paddock stands are literally in four separate counties and can only find one ear plug - slightly disorganised at the moment. Job interview the day before - might end up cruising around due to fried brain.

I'm racing at the 1000km endurance on the 29th, so if you come up the day before, pop in and say hi
I expect it'll run to about 19:30 or so

Anyone done the Michelin power days yet?

A mate reckons there are no groups? Ie. Novice, Inters and Fast? Anyone know?

This link suggests there are groups with 6 x 20 minute sessions. How they split those groups though isn't clear. Did they ask you about your riding experience when you signed up?

You are all lumped together. Makes it rather interesting to say the least.

I'll let you drag me along OCD.

looser cleans the others bike.

I'm sure I saw someone mention it before, but has anyone done the James Whitham training days?

I have they are really good.

I didn't get much from the tuition tbh, it's very similar to no limits, you'll get a session where an instructor follows you that's about it.

But whats fantastic is showing up knowing that you will get a space in the garage, the track is empty. There is about 45 on the day and 15 in your group.Compare that to no limits who will chuck in 40-60 its like riding around on your own.

For me thats worth the extra bit money, I fking hate having to be there at 6:30 pm to secure a space, the constant red flags and the crowding on track.

Well at present that bike is sounding like a piece of st!

(AA is on the way)

Looks like the CCT has st itself.

This is all sounding very competitive
