Usually in the inters but I know cadwell and snetterton really well but with you fast lot bombing round with your 1060's and never setting foot at the place I might be like the video above Hi Adam, I have never rode around Donington either, if you go in to the novice group can you change during the day? I have never done a trackday only raced a long time ago, but what I have watched of trackdays the inters seems to be safer. I am looking forward to putting the slipper and Braketechs their paces at the loop. What rubber are people intending to use on the day?

Howdy Rich.
Im not sure on the switching groups thing with no limits? All depends how full up it is I suppose🤔..
Honestly buddy, you'll be fine in the inters, you'll be too quick for novice I think . Just take your time in the first couple of sessions and you'll soon get to grips with Donny.
I'll be sticking with Supercorsa sp's on mine I think or the Conti Race Attacks if I need to fit a new set by then, both very similar level and plenty sticky enough for my pace.

I'll be looking to kill off the last of my Rosso Corsas

Hello Phil.
Yes, there's a fuel station on site(credit/debit card only).

Yeah, I'm expecting mine to not be quite as frugal next time around😂

Update on the places booked so far...

47 booked on to the Donington Park Trackday
14 Novice
25 Inters
8 Advanced

Im coming.
I need to put a few demons to the sword from my last trackday which was the Aprilia one that was held at Silverstone many moons ago (2006 I think!)
I'll throw myself in the novices and wobble about as best I can.

Looking forward to the banter and catch up.

I don't think you can have a "slow" crash at Silverstone

Yep the tuono will be there.
Be great to catch up

60 per group? At Donington! Sorry guys I'm out

Can't see it being 60 TBH, max race grid size is 36 from memory. Endurance is limited to 40

Although knowing NL if they can squeeze that in.....

60 on track at any one time would be ludicrous. No one would get a clear track, and given the diversity of talent in each group....

I just fancied a sedate trundle with like minded Aprilia owners, sorry to piss on anyone's chips but massive groups are not for me.

60 in a group is toss I hope that this isn't real otherwise I might change my booking for credit

I'm sure somebody told me 40 but Liam said today it was 60🤔...

However, I've done Donington with no limits last year and if it was 60 a group for that one then it was fine, it certainly didn't feel too crowded...

Yeah BigUn, anybody can rock up to watch at No Limits days(no charge) so if you aren't riding then come along and watch everybody trying to stay out of the gravel 🖒

I don't want to have to take my eyes off of the gravel pit for too long, looking over my shoulder  You will be able to bring it into the pits, when I went to Brands they let my mate's father bring his bike in there. Or we will put in the van and drive it into the pits with mine Rick.

There's still 20 spaces left in inters Ad and, to be honest , I bet they won't take many bookings from the general public until it gets much closer to the day, I never book up until about 3 or 4 weeks before normally and there are always spaces in all 3 groups.
