Oulton Park Track
 

Being new this year and never racing at Oulton before does anyone know if we race the entire track, including the shell oils corner? trying to learn the track on a laptop, but dont know where im going! Not looking good for Saturday!

Yes the whole track.

Thats great thanks. Do we go through both chicanes? Brittons and Hislops?

yep all of it

That's 2 of new this Saturday. Number 70, feel like i should be wearing "L" plates LOL. Come and find me and Louise for a chat and a brew.

Neil.

17th TD
 

It seems there are some places left on Fri TD: If you want a place call Alex @ MSV on 01474 875216. Cost is £159.

Strongly advise a trackday before racing Oulton. If your first outing is qualifying, you'll be LAST. And the race will not be very enjoyable. Much of it is blind. You won't learn it in a few laps of a qualy session as it's long and technical. Suspect DD times are around 2 mins, without knowing the circuit, you'll be more like 2.20/2.25. You'll be lapped!

If you can't do a trackday, arrive the night before and walk the circuit, better still, cycle it several times if allowed. Otherwise, look at previous DD race results and tag the back markers and try to follow them out of the paddock on their out lap whilst warming tyres.

i would love to do the trackday but havent got a spare £160. Im sure i wont be the only person who hasnt been there so there will be a few of us lagging at the back holding up the leaders!

I gonna go round the track on friday night and ive entered the allcomers race for some practice. Im confident i wont be last, im tall and my elbows and knees stick out quite far! lol

Plus the weather report shows rain on friday and saturday morning.

I've never been on track at Oulton either and can't afford the track day. So like you its a suck it and see jobbie. :)

Hey, we can't ALL be last!

Gonna sabbotage an igniter on yours to slow you down a bit. :D

Pffff! I came 6th in both races my first time there :D

How about that, so did I but I was in class B, not that class B is bad. Great circuit as well.

I think that was the round where we only got 2 practice laps as well, wasn't it? :o

you're my hero Ant:D

It certainly was, maybe we should of drew names from a hat. :D

I remember that one well, 2006, following Neeves'y on the multistrudle.

It was my first ever race meeting and I got 3rd & 4th on the relatively little altered road bike.

Must have been a good bike :)

It was Jamie Wilkins from Fast Bikes - he did a good write up in the mag!

Now I remember that it was the second season of DD (first with Class A and B) and the first time we'd been to Oulton to race as well.

It was indeed Jamie, Ant


Great little bike that Kev



converted to....


and finally....

well i have never ridden it either,so thats four of us trying not to be last!!! perhaps we could have our own novice,novice race on the plus side you can see where everyone else goes from the back!!!http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/im...ons/icon10.gif

Hey, better last than crash..........:lol:

Some may disagree with you there:rolleye:

Teach me to go fast, no, teach me to not crash, yes!! Much to learn young Padwaan...:lol:
