You get your 3x 20mins if you book. You only get 3 sessions in the day as there are effectively 2 trackdays running at the same time- one starts at 9am and the other at 10am. So if your first session is 9am, your next will be 11am, and so on.
It's only places that are subject to availability, not track time.

Thanks for confirming that Antony, it is a bit of a treck from here but a great circuit to ride IMHO!

I'll stop over somewhere the night before; cheap B&B somewhere as it is too far to ride up the same day from here.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Nice to have met up with PJ and Rob the night before and with other DSC'ers on the day.

Slightly marred by torrential rain the previous day on the way to the event, rain at the event and hurricane force wind & rain on the way home!

385 miles racked up for the sake of about 10 laps of the short club circuit.

I did feel really sorry for Pirelli who had gone to a lot of trouble on the event.

Can we have the next one at Croft please

Not sure what you were riding Frankie, the rest of us were on the full circuit?

Good to meet up with you and Rob, Luigi was there having a blast. Looks like the plan to leave at lunchtime was about right as my ride home was through torrential rain all the way!

So much for the "barbeque summer" we were supposedly going to have this year

Good to meet you again, Frank. Didnt get to go round with you as we ended up in different sessions in the end Nice to see the Louigi group in the next garage with few popping their trackday cherries, PJ and the Yamaha supersport riders in my session....

Glad we got a dry session in the morning to test my new clutch

Got out in a few sessions in the afternoon in the rain. We then had a drying line for the last sessions

We picked up some goodies from Silkolene and got my chains professionally lubed.

Had a laugh with Cobby, Kev & freak.

Cheers Andy, Nice to have caught up with you a few other peeps from here and other places!

Shame about the damn weather, nearly 400miles of riding there and back for a dozen or so laps just was not fair, especially when Pirelli tried so hard to make it an interesting day.

Just found a prof. write up here:

Superbike News Motorcycle Racing - General News

Cheers - Frank 'The Falco Man'

PS - Does anyone know which photography company were used on the day?
