had a brill time, started off leaving my house at 3.30am arrived at hotel in France about 6.30pm 600 miles later. arrived and quess what they had no beer in any way a quick trip to the supermarket sorted that, sunday day of rest laying around the pool and drinking beer bloody hell it was hot. Early nite ready for the 1st day on track woke up to cloudy and a bit of rain bloody hell all i needed with slicks fitted to my new track bike. Thankfully it cleared and a great day had started of steady as never rode with slicks, didnt like them so had a pair of racetecs fitted awesome. First session after lunch went out with a guy in are garage on a 1098 he was saying theres no need for tyre warmers lol lol overtook him at the end of the 1st lap he tried to come back and ended up running in the gravel no damage. Few more beers that nite and then up early for the 2nd day on track uped the pace a bit, session before lunch had another fight with the 1098 this time i gave him time to warm his tyres, at the end of the home straight done him on the brakes up the inside, halfway round see a red flag so pulled in the pits looked around expecting to see a red 1098 wasnt there so new he had had another off lol lol, this time it went down on its side so a ducati with lots of scratches but no other damage to the bike or rider. I was flying in the afternoon a mate timed me on the 1st day at 2.12s the last afternoon i was near the 2m mark. Awesome track and will be booking again next year.
