The 1st time I used a Bimota DB7 , didnt get charged as I was trialling the Matris set up , and later purchased a kit from him. Only did a couple of sessions as I was not really hiring his bike.
Last year , no DB7 had to "settle" for a Suzuki 600, I did the whole day and kept it tidy. The last sesion all the guys on similar time were lined up in pit lane in order of times achieved in previous sessions and were instructed to follow the leader around to the start line and the flag drops for a rolling start . Great concept, and they explained that this way its officially not a race, even though they handed out trophies afterwards.
Ah yes! That's what I did. Was the guys name Francesco? A Suzuki guy. I was there in 14' and 16'.
