Lol. If I could get that hairpin sorted I'm convinced a 1:07 would have happened.

Well you must have nigh on 100 goes at it over the 3 days, maybe you need a clutch that offers some engine braking

I've never been much good at telling people which gear I take corners but I'm pretty sure I have been taking the hairpin in 1st, everybody else were telling me they took it in 2nd, I also take a very tight line into and round the hairpin and full throttle with a little wheelie on the way out, most people take the 'quicker' wide in and out line in 2nd but I don't think it gets your lap time down much and your asking someone to dive up the inside for a block pass, the most important corners would be the tight right onto the back straight and the almost flat out right onto the start finish straight. the looooong left hander is amazing, it will be a shame not to have that anymore. My back wheel locks up when I change to first.

Matt what gearing were you running, I assume you didn't get into 6th as coming down 5 for the hairpin is some going

err,, 15:46,, no didn't use 6th most of the time did hit the rev limiter everywhere though.

I'm far to unorganized to work out things like that, I just change/brake/turn in etc, when it feels right

As i was running with a 14T front probably explains why I used 2nd around the hairpin, felt i could have gone a bit taller with the gearing in some areas which may well have resulted in going down another gear for Hatchets
