Sounds like Sunday and 27th Jan (on my 848). There were not many sessions that were not Red flagged. In 2 trackdays I have done 20 whole laps, mostly whilst it was trying to snow. Either everyone is an idiot or Brands is a plain dangerous when it is damp and cold. Not too bothered about the damp, but it would be nice to see temperatures into double figures for race day.

Everyones pre season test wether it be Brands Oulton or Snett, has been cold wet/damp. So at least we all should be on a level playing field.

So, I was at Brands on Monday too. Great to see Matt out on the A bike.

Was VERY cold and wet. I put wets on the 848 and did about 4 sessions in the rain. But as he said, come lunchtime there was barely a sole about.

Off to Spain at the end of this month for some proper track action!!
