Buy tyre warmers, one of the best investments you can make when track day'ing. If you can't then at least 2 laps, slowly build the pace until you've got confidence. Don't slow on coming in lap, keep the heat in the tyres and check pressures when you get in. One of the biggest issues without warmers is tyre pressure readings, it's very hard to get a measure of what they are really at when you are out of track.

@@EllzIS200 Awesome advice...just subbed...Many thanks 💥💥💥

Yes mate, was a proper "Oh s**t moment"

What's your pb round Mallory?

@@mrgreen9388 54 that was a long time ago . Around 2008 . It's a quicker track since re tarmac. I don't ride anymore . Carpal tunnel elbow problems

Yeah got a few more vids. I'll have a look and see if I've got any good ones of you.

I was on the shaky rep zx10r

@@EllzIS200 you won't find many good ones of me 😂 i was was slightly quicker on the second day

Cheers. I think a sub 1.40 was easily in grasp, maybe 37s or 38s looking at sector times. I'll head back once the new engines in and try again

EllzIS200 fantastic mate Good stuff

Hiya, its a go pro 3+ I think. I only got a new gopro this year. It usually run it on the highest quality and at 60fps not 30.

Cheers Johnnuy. The software is called race chrono. You can use it directly on your phone, but the GPS is logged at 1hz (1 point per second) which is too slow. You can get a Bluetooth GPS receiver that will log at 5 or 10hz that gets you enough data to give you smooth read outs. I use a qstarz bt818. Can pick them up for about 50 quid second hand. You then over lay the data on the video in the race chrono app.

Erm, yes, a little. I was full on the stoppers thinking, bugger bugger bugger, just kept it upright for maximum braking.

Very close 😂😂😳😳

Cheers 2013 zx10r

Hi, this was an old gopro3, logging data from a qstarz bt818 to my phone, app on the phone is race chrono, which then you import the video to and can edit in there. All pretty simple and fairly cheap.

Good to hear you've got the bug back. I used to run Pirelli slicks and love the front but on a litre the rears dont last long, have recently moved to Dunlop KR slicks. The Dunlops seem to give grip for longer, but they cost a bit more. I'm going to try some Bridgestone VO2s next year as also meant to be good and prices arent too bad

Thanks for that. Watched your Cadwell video- been high sided bottom of mansfield, crashed outside the cafe on the mountains and crashed at charlies- 3 right offs....still love the place

Cheers for the comment. Oulton is the best track in the UK, you'll love it.

Yep it's a great track, bar the bus stop chicane at the end. Definitely going back to get some more time there.

Hi thanks for watching. Not really sure who you feel "avoided" me, clearly you must be seeing things other have not. The guy in black and yellow leathers I follow out of the pits and for a few laps is a good friend, letting off the brakes in to turn one was him having a giggle. The guy I'm following in the black and white leathers, pink bike is also a mate. Both of them are racers, I am not. There was respect and space given at all times, when he came past on the back straight we were having a look over at each other giggling, we all came in and had loved it. None of the overtakes were risky at all. In the 8 years of doing track days I've never had anyone complain about my riding. Not sure what group you wobble around in, but you are more than welcome to come along and meet me or one of the guys at a track for some pointers. Cheers

How the hell you allow yourself to comment on someone's video having NO IDEA of who is him/her and who is he/she riding with? or their skills nor any other details? Do you actually ride a bike or you are sitting on the sofa criticizing peoples videos? That is a track day where you normally go to push your bike, and probably if you do not live into a thermo flask you might have some mates to ride with and enjoy the track! By the way nice ride, and I am a fan of Spiderpig!

You are a proper stupid idiot. @@dariocallaghan3062

tempest687 you don t have any ground to reply, that’s why you use that language. Learn how to ride then try to get close to bikers. Might be more interesting than watching a poster all day! Have a nice sofa ride!

Sorry I know this is an old post but I couldn't help comment...You're a proper tit mate. This is a track day...not a CBT test. What was expecting to see? Correct hand signals and a fluorescent sash?...Hopefully we won't meet at a track day!

it looked like the front fork is too stiff... I know, it is impossible to say for fact by watching this video, but I wouldnt like if my bike so solid with the bumps

ZX10R 2014

Thanks Joe. 2014 ZX10R with a few bits on it.

EllzIS200 i dont recall seeing you but i was going at a similar pace.

What bike were you on? We were in garage 16.

EllzIS200 hrc fireblade. I was in garage 14. But was there on the 7th watched your video and noticed alot of the same riders so did you get your date wrong on title?

Yep, I got the date wrong. Was there on the 6th but in my mates Westfield, it was a car track day. Think I saw a HRC honda going around, not on track though. Was so bloody hot. Did you have a good day ?

This is all done through RaceChrono app. RaceChrono Website here : racechrono.com/ Lots of forum content and the app writer gets back to questions quite quickly. Most stuff has already been asked though so search first. Qstarz BT818 - Bluetooth GPS receiver - like this one - tinyurl.com/y9ao6zjt Then you just link your phone via bluetooth to the GPS receiver and chuck it in your pocket and away you go. The reason you need the GPS receiver is due to the frequency your phone will log at (1hz) that GPS receiver logs at 10hz. Hope that helps.

Hi Chris, you commented on one of my other videos a few days ago. This is all done through RaceChrono app. I believe the newest gopro might be able to do some sort of telemetry but not 100% sure if it does laptimes.

This is using RaceChrono software. You have to use it on your phone, its a little fiddly but not too difficult. If you check out my silverstone video I posted the other day I have a different lay out now. Cheers

Gopro3 using gopro sticky mounts. Then used a Bluetooth GPS reciever Qstarz BT818 and racechrono app on my phone. Software to overlay was Dashware but this has stopped working on my computer now, so now use the racechrono pro software on my phone to over lay.

That’s great thanks again. Just bought GoPro 6 which has gps built in and can overlay gps map and speed, unfortunately not the lap times (though you can work it out)

Greg Ford good luck Greg, you'll love It.
