Wsbk and ASBK at the Island

Just out of interest Nick, was power supplied to the paddock area for the support riders and did you need a generator rolled out onto the track for warmers or was it a warm up lap then race without delay?

There was a 15A outlet for each competitor. We needed generators on the grid (this year the media grid was 10 mins each, up from 5 mins). At the 3 min mark they used to shoo you off the track, by the time you got warmers on, it was exactly time to take them off! Daft. This year it was at the 2 min mark, so warmers for 5 or 6 mins (after getting them fitted) was quite useful. A couple of ppl just sat there. In the heat of Qld last year, I did the same thing. If it's hot, even 10 mins is fine. You get another warmup lap after.

You don't have to sit on the grid - you can go out and come in again after the sighting lap, or even not go out at all. Then start from pit lane on the warmup lap (after the 10 mins) and take your normal grid spot. But sitting there on the grid with a big crowd and all the action feels sooooooo MotoGP!!

Great information Nick. You've given me motivation to enter the 600's next year. I'll get my arse kicked but the whole WSBK experience will be worth it
