Default First track day!

Did my first track evening at brands hatch the other day, what a day it was! I'd recommend it to anyone after experiencing it myself.

Had to wear a crappy high vis as it was my first one but started picking the pace up after a couple of sessions!

Got some great photos from the guys at the stands:








Definitely considering getting a track bike now as it seems very addictive!

Great photos.

I think your mirrors might need looking at though

Looking good. First knee down as well?

A good track day is the most fun you can have

Yeah first knee down, after the sessions moved on it because like child's play and then I could start planning my lines and pushing it more.

Yeah the mirrors are just distracting so is my speedo so I taped that up as well!
