I know it's a long way for you guys, but it is the most beautifull , thrilling racetrack in the world

normaly it's pretty expensive to ride there , but once a year there is one orgasisation that has a cheaper trackday. this year it'll be on the 7th off octobre. costs 160 euro for 5 sessions off 30 min's.

Don't know if anyone here might be interested ? if so, you could come over the day before, and stay overnight at my place. it's about an hour and a half drive from my place to the track.

I really love this track, it wasn't a good year for me if I haven't ridden it that year. I thinck everyone should have ridden there at least once. but if you do, you'll wanna come back

only downside : don't come if you haven't got rain-tires , cause the track has it's one micro-climat (rain might pour down on one part off the track, while the other is bathing in sunshine)

wanna learn/see the track ?

interested ? pm me for more details

. Liked the video. You could actually see the counter steering as he was turning Right but those straights look like a 250 would get mudered on there

Jan your going to have to come over and do the mini Numerburg Ring at Cadwell sometime.

I've run there on my KR1, as a streetfighter so no fairing. (when I go with the KR, I always go in a less experienced group then me. the longest straight (after the hill) is actually still climbing, so mine managed only about 170 km/h , while 1000's go over 250 km/h there , so it was quite a speed-difference . but the real fun is coming down again at the back off the circuit, and passing all those diesels again

well, I'd love to. maybe when the kids are grown up and left the house, I might come over and do a "tour off famous brittish circuits"

, but that won't happen for another 10-15 years
