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.
