Silverstone GP - Mon 31 March
 

Anyone interested in doing a trackday at the rather excellent Silverstone GP circuit on Monday 31 March?

It's with Hottrax and costs ?89 (and rising apparently!), so a good balance between cheapness and not being too cold!!

Suggestions of what to bring on the day:

- Tyre pressure gauge
- Tools - for removing number plate and mirrors (if they come off easily)
- Tape - for taping up lights, mirrors & speedo
- Driving licence - both parts
- The right kit - helmet with BS kitemark, gloves, boots, leathers (1-piece or 2-piece with connecting zip)

There is a canteen and petrol station on site, but you will need CASH to pay for fuel. I tend to take snack bars & a big bottle of water with me as well, as it's easy to get dehydrated (even in March!) and that affects your concentration.

Also worth checking tyres, chain, oil, etc prior to the day.

Yeah I could well be up for that, but I need to check da rota @ work. Its a computer thing which is broken right now, so can't check. How much for tution, what time is it starting, I'll probally stay at my parents that night closer you see:)

Possibly! Mind you the SV is a bit slow on that track.

I see no ones whats to come with me to Brands at the end of the month!

Re: Silverstone GP - Mon 31 March
 

January's a bit too early for my liking, cold tyres, cold fingers, etc!

Re training, I don't know what they offer, but you could check out the Hottrax website.

Definatley! Should have the new bike by then too :D

Re: Silverstone GP - Mon 31 March
 

Looks interesting for me too... big track though...

Re: Silverstone GP - Mon 31 March
 

cool, interest is growing! :D

It's really nice - good surface and lots of space for passing, so you don't have to get as close to other bikes as you do on some of the narrower tracks. TBH it will take a couple of sessions to learn the track, but once you do the length keeps it interesting.

It is just me that's waiting for a certain bear to read that remark? :D
