And then add the number you first thought of.............;)

The late great Juan Manuel Fangio was once asked if he had any tips for people who wanted to emulate his dominance of racing cars.

His reply? "More throttle....less brake"

I asked James Toseland how to be as quick as those with the big bore kits - he said - (actually I better not say on a public forum) :sniff:

Good tip
See if you can develop the growth of stupendously large Balls and budget for very compressive medical insurance, but winning Christ knows?
:eureka:

Bottled water close at hand, dehydration creeps up on you from no-where and once it's upon you, you're stuffed as it's too late. It will affect your concentration and lead to splitting headaches and to be honest, a DNF. Non fizzy is the preffered choice.


The last 2 tings I always needed were:
1) a wazz - so a wazz bottle (empty 2 litre Volvic works a treat) works for the blokes.

2) How many times did I put my helmet on in a panic, get down to the paddock area and realise I had left my ear plugs elsewhere.
Put them in your gloves at the end of a race / session and that's all it ever really took.


Best of luck over the w/end.
