| At a risk of digressing too much ... I find the subject of turn in points fascinating. I've ridden on trackdays at Cadwell twice now, and also watched the DD racing there. At the (old) Hairpin at the top of Hall Bends, on a track day the cone for the turn in point is right over on the left (and very far back before the turn I thought). On the first race I watched from there, many were over to the right on the turn and nipped inside there. In the novices on the track day I cannot remmebr if any went inside there, I think everyone was just trying to get round the hairpin unscathed!
On a slightly different note (still at Cadwell), I found I could nip round the outside at Chris Curve instead of hugging the inside (very long) apex. Overtook 5 other bikes all in convoy on the inside line there.
Not sure which is "right" or "wrong" or whether in fact there is no right or wrong but what you can get away with and depends on how fast/show you are? I do know that the (ideal) turn in point is going to change depending on how fast you are heading into the turn.
I can see I will have to have a chat when there next (Sat June 11th).  |
