that wind looks a little fast, not a surprise for Anglesey. Take care and give yourself plenty of room on the fast right hander at the back of the circuit, that wind will have you on the grass otherwise.

Other thing to watch is the breaking point heading back down from the hairpin if its real windy, if the wind changes throughout the day watch that breaking point and give yourself plenty of safety margin.

Plus it's Anglesey, so I wouldn't put too much faith in the ability of the forecasters to get it right. It seems to have it's very own micro-climate and the weather can change in the blink of an eye.

Really looking forward to this, just hope it stays dry and doesn't get too cold.

Hoped to have my curvy cams fitted beforehand, but that ain't gonna happen now.

Looking forward to checking out the new facilities too.

All they used to have was a large area with a pent corrugated iron roof, probably wide enough to fit 8-10 cars in side-by-side.

I'm sure whatever they've done to date will be an improvement.

Well I for one know I'm not a poofter. I probably could be considered a bit of a tart though.

Well...I've had an coolant leak, an oil leak and now a brake line has split....hopefully should be fixed up by 4-5pm and then making my way over.

Fingers crossed!
