oulton track day no limits
 

just rang up to book and he asked what lap times i do i said bet time at cadwell 2.00.00 best time at castle combe 1.30.00 ish and he wants to put me in the fast group aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr or inter but there are all sold out so any one want to swap for a novice place

Which day Dom?

28th june

2 mins would be a very good time for a 620 I think :o

2 mins would be a fair/good time for a GSXR1000 at Oulton!

2:00:00 lap of cadwell not oulton

:lol: :lol: :lol:

You plank!

I managed a 2:00 lap at Oulton in 2003 on a 50bhp ZXR400 after 7 laps - click here before my team-mate blew it up in the next race. I would think a 1:57 would have been possible on that - and it was a shed. CB500's have been down to about a 2:02 I think too, although Alex Gault who's in it this year was doing 2:09's in the wet!!! Faster than Dave Heal on the KTM. So a 2 min lap should be a good target for 620's - the fast ones.

Maybe a 2:10 would be a good target for a top six 583???

Maybe? Dunno though, could be wildly out.

I have done 1:55's before Hizzy's was put in, on the CB500 on shagged tyres - click here

Looking at some of the results from 2003 on Bemsee's site, the Aprilia 125's are doing 2:04's, YPM (Old TZR250's) are doing 2:03's and the first Minitwins were doing 1:54's.

I think 2:00 will be good for 620's and a 2:04 will be good for 583's.

Thoughts?

I reckon that seems pretty fair Dom

Oulton is a good circuit for the smaller bikes as it suits anything that can maintain corner speed and the straights are not that long.

2:13 for me :lol:

so iv made it then i can final go out in fast groups on track days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if there was any room left

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't reckon you will have much trouble keeping up Phil ;)

Fast group kinda depends on proximity to races as to whether it's really quick or as with yesterday a reasonable pace.

I just want to learn as much about the track as possible...lap times are not a concern for me at all.................im hoping i can get on the rear wheel of a reasonably paced local to show me the ropes


Phil

Some guys there on ZX10's who couldn't ride for toffee, I even managed to lap one guy in a session... shows how people perceive how fast or slow they are when choosing groups I suppose.

It could also mean I was possibly in the wrong group I suppose???
