Honda Curve - no brakes, down a gear flat out is the plan - or roll off top then on again.....hold breath and tunr method works for me Was brake and down 1 last year and will be trying higher gearing this time, same as Snetterton, so with a bit of luck may be going a little quicker

But I have cadwell to work on first next week.....wonder if they will have the beacon on for the open pit day; or try and get someone to chuck a stopwatch on for a session or two

See, I don't think the Pirellis were that bad in those types of bends if you pushed them hard enough... Same at Mallory and Brands. There are a few types of corners where they feel a bit better... But it is just that they feel better, rather than that they grip a significant amount better. Although that is just my opinion, as usual I could be talking nonsense!

think Dallas did that time on the old Diablos too which IMO (probably tosh too! ) were faaaar better than the Rossos

ha no, its a trackday too; you saw at Anglesey my TD head is different to race head. Its abouyt having a laugh and gentle competition with mates rather than 'must pass' etc

On the Tuesday, however, its open pit so will be messing with stuff and using as a test day
