OSS trackdays.

[dupersunc]

I know there's a few guys who  race and Trackday their old Suzukis on here.

I keep seeing the Dutch guys have fun on track together from posts on here and FB, so I thought I'd start a thread on here.  Be good to get out on track with some of you guys.

Got a trackday planned.  Post it here and let others know.

Yeah, good call. I haven't been on my race bike now for over a year. There was no club racing this year and I never managed to get south for any of the track days. 

[Jelly]

Would love to come over and do a trackday, there were already some plans for this year, but yeah, you know what happened... Don't forget @Leblowski

Likewise a Spa or Assen day with you guys looks cool.   

Or we all head  South.

Me me me......

 

castle coombe yesterday, good laugh, bit wet for the sighting laps, and a bit odd with no spectators/helpers/assistants  and distancing... but Fun Fun Fun..

[Allspeeds]

Definitely up for more days out next year probably be late March before it’s warm enough now for me now doing some more improvements on the bike for next season

Cheers @dupersunc! I hear Zandfort is almost as good as Assen, 40 mins from my place too - will happily provide beers, shed and beds for travellers or anyone needing it.

Love Zandvoort. Did some the Malboro masters meetings years ago.  What are the noise limits for trackday there?

I havent been to Zandfort but I think its probably the same as Assen - will find out. I had a rudimentary db killer in my Yoshi duplex at Assen, and had no problems at all. All the locals thought it was fine. Having said that we did also have Hans on side, who had conveniently mislaid his db meter...

That's one hell of a start finnish straight. Top gear flat out.

Whilst I’m pretty sure I’ve now stopped doing track days, would be happy to come along to watch/spanner/drink beer etc

Why not @Rene EFE?

[Rene EFE]

Quite a few corners that are downright terrifying in a car, let alone on a bike. 
 

Imagine a blind corner with 0 runoff and a concrete wall, off camber. 
 

It’s a beautiful place, but not fit for bikes.

T3 is definetly sketchy but now heavily banked for the f1 cars.  The next part is awesome flat out 5t gear sweepers then overr the brow into a 4th gear right.

Last 2 turns are mega especially now the last is banked heavily.

I did it a few weeks ago in a Porsche Turbo (natch) at good speed; I really don't see myself doing it. I think it's more dangerous than the TT course tbh.

With an instructor, maybe. Just rolled out the van, still fuzzy and bereft of coffee, in the fast group; fuck no.

An zero run-off means ZERO run-off; A wall right where you would go if something were to go wrong.

[Rene EFE]

Besides that; happy to join whenever possible

[dupersunc]

poofwoof.

 

 

[Rene EFE]

Worse than that

OK, OK, I'll do it! You don't have to keep trying to persuade me!

[Allspeeds]

If in doubt flat out right?? 

[Dezza]

I'd be interested in a track day if there's an extra-slow group
