First trackday of 2007-Brands Hatch Indy Saturday 3rd March
Getting itchy feet, and since winter hasn't really happened, I think I'm going to book this:
http://www.focusedevents.com/event_details.asp?eid=648 Brands Indy Saturday 3rd March <- Still plenty of time to get a little warmer and you don't need a day off work! £119 Anyone game? Thanks Luke EDIT: Going to book this tomorrow as there is no-one in the office at the moment and I have a voucher :wink: |
I'd like to do a track day soon but it'l be my first so can anyone tell me what the minimum requiements are? i.e clothing / bike alterations?
cheers |
Usually the organisers will provide this, but the standard is that you need full leathers (two piece zip together is ok), ACU gold sticker helmet. Bike has to be in decent condition, sump bolt done up tight, decent state of tyres etc.
My modifications to the bike are remove reg plate, unbolt mirrors, remove fuses for lights and tape up headlights. More here. https://www.focusedevents.com/terms.asp It's a bit intimidating at first, so make sure you take it easy. Speak to the instructors, they are great. Make sure you keep yourself fed and watered so you don't get tired, and a plastic petrol can is useful. |

It's down to personal choice really. Some remove wing mirrors, others fold them in. Tape over lights, number plates etc. The only thing the organisers have said is tape over you speedo, so you're not tempted to look to see how fast you're going.
As for brake lights - Don't give 2 thoughts as to what is going on behind you - just concentrate on what's ahead - Let the guy behind you worry about when you're going to brake! |
I'll be at anetterton on the 25th feb with FE for a mere £45....BARGAIN!!!!!!! :lol:
|
