Chuffed, awful place to watch bke racing, let alone with that chicane . . .

It's only been the last couple of years they have let us sit in the stands that previousy were empty, but they wouldn't let us use . .

Great that's it back at Donington. Shame the toilets are crap and they can't organise traffic for love nor money but it's where WSB started so it's fitting .. ..

Hang on - this year we had Silverstone, Brands AND Donington.

Why would you be pleased to see one less UK WSB weekend, even if this years race was an especially crap day out because of the weather.

Doh! This year I booked a cheap trackday at Silverstone which included a free WSB ticket - once I sold that on ebay, the trackday only cost me £29! That won't happen again now frown

We had 3 this year only because of the WSB 20th Anniversary at Donington. We're now back to 2 rounds as per normal, and where they should be . . .

Agreed, I would prefer 3 rounds, like when we had th extra round at Brands in 2001 or 2001, I forget, when Reynolds won. However we dont usually.

I don't ride, but is Silverstone good on a bike, because in a car i find you need something with loads of power, otherwise the GP circuit seems to go on for hours with little to do . .. I imagine with a bike the straights go a bot faster though wink

Rea, Jones, Hill and Walker battling it out in Supersport, or at least the 1st 3, with Walker looking for which way they went hehe

I've done the full GP circuit twice now, once on a ZX7R and once on a TL1000R and on neither occasion did I find it too big - I thought it was an ace circuit, nice and fast.
