Think I averaged about 68mph - surprisingly quick considering how tight the track is. Considering I fell off at one of the fastest parts of the track, I hate to think how fast I was going when I came off

I believe I managed a 58-59 sec lap on more than one occasion. So thats just over 60mph average.

here, now you have all been round it and this will make more sense/mean more to you - for your entertainment is some on-board footage from the last .ORG trackday at Lydden .. relive that track experience - site there and remember what it was like just a few days ago!!

LoL, if you haven't been to a track yourself I think the videos always look a bit slow, but if you have actually done it, you get a better appreciation - since I have done the tracks myself, I have much more appreciation for the BSB onboard (and trackside) videos than I had beforehand!!

I prefer watching BSB to WSBK (or MotoGP) for that very reason (i.e. been there myself and can relate to where they are what it feels like (although admittedly at a slower pace!!)!!!

What times were you doing Blue? With the video splicing/traffic I couldn't really tell.

Dunno, I haven't re-watched that vid all the way through, (it's 9mins long and I am not that patient!! ), from memory though, wasn’t there some 'clear' laps wher I was doing-my-thang somewhere at the end?

If not, I'll have a look at the original footage and check.

I was kinda implying that of IF I was on Fast Forward - I'd look like that, not the other way around.
