As I posted in the BP, I did my 1st racing test day at Wigan on Wednesday. 4 hours of track time for £50. It has been the best £50 I've spent for a while, I went on track with the intention of
1, Learning the circuit
2, getting my Technique better
3, starting to go faster round the bends.
I succeeded in all 3, but I do still need to work on my corner speed if I dont want to be sat at the back in races. I was a bit daunted tbh because it's something I had never done & I didn't want to get in anybodys way, but after a couple of outings, I settled down & loved every minute of it.
Timwilky popped down to see us on his Gixxer, we fuelled him up with hot coffee & had a natter.
All in all a fantastic day & cant wait for the next one in April. Just in time for the start of the season. I will hopefully have the Steelie up & running for that one
