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 ;)

:lol:

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 :o
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!

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