Na, its just a 'test & tune' day. I've never ridden the circuit so its practice/learning for me before FX.

Lots of shitty cars dropping lots of oil, which you have to ride around....on a bad day
on a good day you'll have 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off and 90+ laps in the day if your fit enough
I've done a couple over the years, they can be great value
have fun

I guess its like an ARDC day at the creek then? :) Only practice ive got, hoping for less shitty cars and not scorching heat!

The bike-only T&T day we did there recently on the Friday before the Pirelli RR round 1 was good. No cars to drop oil :thumb:

My only major complaint was that the day doesn't officially start until 10am, and on our particular day they were in no hurry and it was a fair bit later than that when it got under way. IIRC we had arrived at the track at 6:30am, and didn't get on track until 11:30am!!! Admittedly we were the last of 3 groups, but the first group only started at 10:30.
