Donington Park Gp Noisy 10th September 2019 - No Limits

Sounds like a blast!

 

Would love to!

Up there on 17th to do my ACU licence. That’s my only bike TD/track time this month

 

Boooooo

Enjoy buddy

 

I will be collecting my Hypermotard from my place in Surrey on the 10th. If it’s not shitting with rain I will drive up and say hello!

 

I tried to book on to test my bike after the crash, but it's fully booked, so I've booked Oulton on the Wednesday instead

 

Racing next year?

 

What's a good lap time round Donington?

 

Depends on what and what level
BSB superbikes dip under 1:30

 

No, not that lot! I was thinking more along the lines of a track day enthusiast. Y'know, like a plumber who's got a track bike. He doesn't nor never has raced, he just likes doing track days.... A bloke like me

 

Depending on the track day, but roughly
1:40-1:50 would be fast
1:50-2:00 inters
2:00+ novice

 

I was there the other week for the track day, which works as the test day for the weekend’s racing, so the pace was a bit quicker than normal
I put my camera on for a session, so you can get a rough idea of the pace
If you skip to about 7 mins, you can see how fast Taylor mackenzie comes past me

 

Blimey, that was great! 1.38! Oooft... And you still held your own when TM came past. I managed a 1.43 last time out. That'll do me. I'll do myself a mischief if I try going any faster
Interestingly, it just shows how far out our speedo's are. I was indicating 126mph down Craners, which is reading way over when compared with your GPS reading.
Anyhow, thanks for posting

 

Donny is great, like @graeme4130 said Fast group should be 1:40's and sometimes lower.

 

No hanging about by you, Sir! That 999R's got some poke! Beautiful machines/engines. Nice

I'm obviously going to have to try harder

 

Yep I’ll be there on the black n gold 749/924.
As Graeme quoted anything sub 1:50 is good for the Quick group. I can scrape a mid 1:46. So have work to do!

 

I hope the weather is better than today for you guys.
