Track was ideal for the purpose of testing the bike and teaching people new to a trackday, at only 1.5 km long it is fairly easy to learn. It has a good tarmac surface that offered loads of grip when dry.
My mate Simon Knowlson is the lap record holder there and a rider of his calibre finds it useful for testing. It was more suited to the GSXR600s than Dallas's ZX10R and was perfect for the 600SS as you only really had to use the brakes once for the entry to the Bus Stop chicane. Even the 916 was enjoyable to ride around LLandow but a 180 tyre would have helped, the 190 made it feel a bit slow turning through the chicane
We intend doing it again as it was a enjoyable experience and any body wanting to try a track for the first time I would recommend they join us if they are in the South of England (Take Note Chippy and Evertons better half Brenda)
