It is a mistake to assume a record will or won't go based on last year. I did that with Castle Combe. I was very close in my first season, but no nearer the second year on a better bike with better tyres. It is a different year with different riders on a different day. Anything could happen. Brands - wrong time of year, but I think 3 of us were within half a second last year. Depends on weather and how much anyone pushes... Anglesey - Phil had a (ahem) very light bike with plenty of power, but with Sam, Phil and I all getting similar times it clearly isn't impossible... However, conditions were near perfect for Anglesey. Are you on the same track layout this year? Cadwell - Bradders and I were very close, but neither of us had the quickest bikes.... But conditions were very good. Donny - new layout, new record Snetterton - I think Neal could have gone quicker, but he clearly had a dodgy fuel pump in the dry race. Oulton - It was cool and wet/damp all day. I had quicker times from the dry practice day, but Sam's time is pretty impressive! |
