Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Im looking to do my first trackday this spring and my mates have invited me to Rockingham on the 17th i think. They are all on 600cc inline fours, and me my sv650. Is this a good track to do as a first timer on my SV? My bike has SRAD front and ZX10 rear shock so its ready but looking at the length of the straight it seems very long for my little bike!

L3nny - Ahh I'm booked in at Rockingham on Sunday 17th March. Make sure you leave it nice n grippy for the Sunday!

Serdna, 650 is fine around there, the straights aren't long like Snetterton or Silverstone etc. I think good 600/650's are the best bikes for Rockingham.

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

hey L3nny i am a marshall at donington and will be working the 28th feb, if you end up doing the trackday lemme know your garage in pm i may come say hello at some point in the day :)

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Fixed for you lol

It looks unlikley I'm going to be able to make this one now anyway :(

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Haha ye of little faith! :p

I'm tempted by most of these but unfortunately they dont fit that great with my deadlines and exams! Silverstone might work for me though!

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Rockingham is the perfect track for a first timer and indeed the SV. It's a shortish track nd the straight is short compared to some.

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Def not going to be able to make Donnington on Thursday now, bike is still at the menders and wont be ready till Thus afternoon. Shame as the weather forecast isn't too bad.

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Im tempted by Rockingham on the 17th but it seems a little pricey for the time of year does it not? It was 75 quid last September.

I might wait until the week before to see if prices drop and the weather looks okish

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

You sure that was for the International track?

I thought it looked about £10 more than usual too, but those are the old dates I can do, and a tenner isn't much in the grand scheme.

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Pretty sure it was, it was with NL. I was going to do it but work got in the way. I really like the look of the track on some youtube vids, looks better than mallory.

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Tight as the proverbial ducks ****. I'll tell you what, I will save a 50p a day from now and give it to you at Rockingham.:rolleyes:

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

51p..

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

I prefer the national to the international track layout.

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

i only ever see the international circuit advertised

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

They can get more people on the international track so probably run the national circuit less for financial reasons. NL used to run Rockingham weekends, international on Saturday and the national on Sunday, they seem to run both days as the international now...no fair!

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Just about to book the 16th. THought I's have a quick look at the long range forecast on Metcheck.

-7 degrees apparently!!!

And there was me thinking the winter was over :(

I hate the weather in the country!

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Foooooook I'm booked at Rock on the 17th! A balmy -1!!

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

i can't book it now, i have been well and truly bent over a raped on my car insurance yet again. I thought it was meant to get cheaper :compcrash:

Re: Potential Trackdays
 

Looking like the weather is gonna be rubbish on Monday so that's Cadwell scrapped as well.

Only ridden about 30 miles on the GSXR since August, was hoping to be able to get a few more road miles on it before doing a track day.

This weather is getting n my nerves now!
