Quite possibly - same thing happened way back at the first DD round there.
It's a big track which obviously makes timing tighter to get enough laps in to a session.
If it's not too late, try and get in to another class so you can use that as your practise laps before going out and qualifying.

not sure there is another class is there? Haven't seen schedule but not normally, think all comers lasted 1 or 2 rounds and was after other sessions and not well supported
no other classes suitable. I reckon you will get 6 flying laps at the most if there is one outlap. Looks like it could be interesting.

It's a shame but it'll make it more exciting!
First time there in DD we managed to get 2 laps in before qualifying was red flagged! Luckily myself and El Rico had been out in the SV650 qualifying the session before (came in early to line up again for DD) and went out on warmed tyres having been round the track a couple of times so our first two laps were pretty good.
It's not ideal but that's racing...

you can enter MG600
after last time?! :lol:
That woulkd be MG 600 and MG 1000 as they practice and race together :o
I think the best advice is to just knock out some nice slow and steady laps and take it easy ;) ;)

I raced with them at Cadwell and had no issues, barely saw them most of the race so had free tracktime.

I also went out in the same SV/F400 practice as I hadn't been to Oulton for 7 years and sinced my last visit they had added the Hizzys Chicane.
So went out in DD practice with nice warm tyres came hurtling into the first Chicane on my 583 to come across an almost stationary 620, had to use the front brake to avoid ramming into it and as usual when cranked over and adding front brake I was soon paying a visit to the medical centre. Still it wasn't the incident that caused the early Red flag.
At least this time when Saturday quallifying comes around its only a couple of years since I was there
