With the next round of the D1 coming up, thought I would get some opinions on the course.
Which are you favourite and least favourite turns?
You know the ones I mean, the ones that you could practice all day but for different reasons!
My favourite isnt actually on the course. Its the first turn after the start/finish straight, I think its called Copse. I like it cos its dead easy, Jam it into third, turn in and floor it, cos its off camber the back end comes out no bother round the entire bend. I thought it would be very intimidating, but its dead easy and got it perfect first time :)
And the least favourite? Brooklands, no contest. Its horrible. 120 degrees, very difficult to set up for and negotiate, not forgetting its an absolute mare when its wet (Spin city anyone?). Plus of course if you do mess it up you're right in front of the crowd!
Anyone else have a preference
