Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
If its on and you are going, the best piece of advice I can give you is to get the tyres warm before you go banzai.
I've raced at Oulton when there was still frost on the ground. You just need to be gentle with everything, gentle on the brakes, gentle on the turn in etc. Your confidence will grow pretty quickly provided that you let the tyres get some heat. Dont be intimidated by anybody, go at your own pace and enjoy. |

Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
It is cancelled !!
Just received the following email: Thank you for booking your trackday with us for tomorrow at Oulton Park. We’re sorry to say that due to adverse weather conditions, we have had to cancel tomorrow’s event. Safety is our number one priority and although every effort has been made to try to ensure that the circuit was ready, the weather is not looking good for the next 24 hours and has therefore it has beaten us this time. Attached are some photos taken at the circuit earlier today. Normally in this situation, you would be offered a credit of whatever you have paid towards another trackday with us in the next three months. However, our next bike trackday at Oulton Park is on Tuesday 7th April and the price is £129. I understand that this is a significant increase from the price you have paid and therefore we will extend your credit to be applicable for any trackday in the next 12 months. This means that it can then be redeemed against another Oulton Park trackday in the late part of this year which should be of a similar price to this event. Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds under any circumstances. Alternatively, the following options are also available to you:
Once you have found the event that you would like to redeem your credit against, please call us on 0870 850 5013 and we’ll be happy to get you booked in. Hopefully see you at another trackday (with some sunshine) soon! Kind regards, Jason Kluger Track Day Organiser MotorSport Vision

Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
damn, thats unlucky. mind you it was intended as a novice day wasnt it so probably a good call.
The last thing you need when dipping your toe into the trackday experience is snow! |

Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
I don't think it was a novice day, just a standard split sessions day. Can't argue with the wish for better weather though

Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
Yeah, you're right. The linky at the start of the thread was for the novice session on the site, there must be another link for the int/advanced. No offence intended

Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
I don't personally see the problem
Let the tyres down a bit, it'd be fine I think I can even see a dry line forming. These pics were attatched to the email earlier.......

Re: Oulton park 6th february Novice
Think the wind chill factor may have slowed you a little on that!!
