Only if you have a vehicle pass I'm afraid.

If not, then you'll have to park in the Spectators area, but your pink ticket will get you in to the paddock... on foot

Blimey - that's good!!!!

You gotta have space-hopper sized bolucks to leave your braking much after Avon Rise I reckon!!! Unless you like the taste of rubber!!!!

Here is a 33MB video - on board bike, April 2005 with the new chicane.

Nice little video - on the day it may be a little busier, louder, closer, faster and more fun! Some of the lines may be a little different as well.

Nick - note the brake light coming on whilst still lent over for Quarry and that's going a lot slower than you'll be going, so I think my original statement still stands, although it's been a while, so happy to be corrected.

Noted john, but my little monnie only does 140!
I was planning to start by following your notes anyway... they've proved good in the past, thanks chap.

So Nick, were you braking whilst still banked over to the left heading for Quarry? Was my write up accurate in terms of overtaking etc?

Mornin' JohnyB

You were sort of right... My ideal braking point for quarry would have been at the very moment the bike went light at Avon Rise, but that wasn't very helpful for stability! So what I ended up doing was to back of about 10m before avon rise so I could extend the braking point a bit.
I don't think I worked out what was the right thing to do - I found an apex at Quarry probably half a dozen times over 28 laps! Braking before the rise and I was too slow into the turn and got mugged, braking after the rise (without shutting off before) and I was going wide and getting mugged.

Funny thing tho wjb, your report didn't mention how much hard work that circuit is!!
