Nice pic from the Ducati Trackday on 1st of May sent to me this morning by a fellow advanced group rider (who had his own photographer - definitely the way forward )
Quick pic by Peter Wileman and an onboard video from Snetterton last week. I don't count the 4 laps on the DUK day, so this is my first track outing on the 2025 Panigale....
Took the big bus to Anglesey last week for a couple of days on the James Whitham trackdays. It was bloody windy, which is hard work when you bike is like a giant slab, but good fun and basically dry for the most
It wasn’t a TD. The circuit is a public road That made 160 mph down Conrod straight quite an experience
Nice. I’ve driven it a few times in the mother in law’s car, didn’t get over 60. My nephew was at the university near there.
First experience of Brno and I now understand why people love the track (and the town) although i think the new track surface and heat destroyed people’s tyres quicker than anticipated. 2nd session of the first day, not 100% convinced I knew which corner was coming next but it just adds to the excitement and what a fantastic flowing track
My video from the same trip as @DRR117 to Brno with No Limits earlier this week. What an epic place and track. Some of that is the confidence this bike has given me and some is confidence from the grip of the new surface (guaranteed MotoGP lap records in a few weeks!). The great thing about a fast flowing lap of 2mins+ is that you can find yourself a bit of space with zero traffic quite easily.....
I was two garages down from you in 20. The circuit has been resurfaced since I was there in 2015, it's much better now. Had issues with EMU light coming on intermittently throughout then the gear indicator sensor going. Track temperature was > 40c most days.
At the Red Bull Ring on the F3…. What a track. Like a big version of Brands Indy. I missed the morning sessions, hunting for a baffle, so drove 100 kms to YART and amazingly the CEO said “sort this man out”….. and they did. What a nice bunch of racers. Got a tour of the factory and museum as well.
