I really didn't want to see that view I was just going to throw everything at it, now you have made me go all analytical.

It's a bit of a journey from here but I'm hoping to 'pop over' for a gander. Think I'm hooked...

Plan to be there at least one day!
I am racing at Anglesey the weekend before, and leaving for Spa the Wesnesday after, so depends on how incident free Anglesey is!
Anyone likely to have a spare ticket?

In the same sort of boat as you Douglas - we are doing the full 3 day weekend at Snetterton the week before.
Hoping it will be incident free so we can come along for the whole Brands weekend ( as have promised Lily!)

Just forget about it, I hardly ever get my knee down. It's more important to go fast and pay attention to what you're doing!

I personally try to never get my slider down on the tarmac, as if its not running over the grass on the inside of the rumble strip you missed the apex by a mile
