Times Chris?

Don't be shy

TP,

Didn't do times?

Felt OK though, geared 14/40 just right I think - 5speed / 675.

Such a short race, I fear the matter will be settled via qualifying and first two laps of mayhem?

The passing options are limited I think, If you outbrake and stuff someone will they get a better run on you for the next corner? I hope to get some clear space and just go................but I'll probably qualify 10-20 and get caught up in the novice carnage that will result, as the top 10 is now booked out by ex GP gods!

Bugger - how am I supposed to complete my analysis of the grid without your times



You're right though, it sounds like qualifying is going to be even more important that usual because of no untimed practice and only 6 laps.

More so if it's wet!

Twas nice to do it in the dry - As for Coppice - I can only suggest no-one gets up close and personal behind me for this corner. My approach is atrocious !
However I did like the bit from Hollywood right up to Coppice and the chicane is far easier to deal with than the Esses.
I have a tacho now - 8800 revs - blimey didn't think I had that many
My gearing not quite right - not enough pull out of corners and if I changed down a gear it would have been too high rev's - Guess I should go faster then - Hmmmm !

qualifying may be the key..but with close to 60 bikes on track its going to be diffacult to put decent laps in.........that combined with the guest riders etc i think getting on the first 4 rows will be a great result...........

I think its going to be a very interesting qualifying session !

for sure, be interesting to see who really pushes it in the wet (if it is) or who plays the averages game and goes for a reasonable spot. we've seen people bin it in qualifying before!

agreed....its a fine line between pushing hard for decent grid position and staying on ...!.............. its something i struggle with.!..how hard do i go..?

Go as hard and fast as you can mate, keep pushing until you slide
