They have Niall MacKenzie going ot this one

Re: Silverstone 7th June
 

I really want to do Silverstone again but it's a bit of a risk spending £150 when it could be a washout and I don't have wet tyres.

Also there is Binky's day at Cadwell the day before.

Not sure what diffrence it will make having Niall MacKenzie there, just be one more bloke much quicker than me lol.

Will keep an eye on it.

Lenny, you can book a session with Niall MacKenzie and he'll show you the lines, braking points etc and bring you up to speed. I've done a couple of days with him and he was very good.

Have fun.Must book one and find out how fast my scoot is

I see. Does that cost extra?

Re: Silverstone 7th June
 

Yes. I've not done single sessions so don't know how much. Usually you can book one of the pro riders for a day between 3 or 4 of you

If you get a decent instructor from FE he'll ride a session with you and give feedback for free. Not quite the same as a GP rider but good enough for most

Did that at Mallory last week only feedback I got was that I need to go a bit faster! I kind of knew that already.

haha, I did say if you get a decent one.

In my faster days an instructor followed me around Snetters (old lay out). after two laps I looked back and couldn't see him. He was sulking in the pits saying I was going too quick down the straight for his Tuono to keep up. FFS he should have got back my the bomb hole if not in the braking zone for the chicane after the straight.

If you get one like that again get another for the next session. If you lines and body position are good though there's little more they can do than speed you up. They should have gone out in front and ask you to keep up and pushed on a in your weakest areas a little bit at a time.
