First UK Trackday After Lockdown // Nolimits Day at Donington Park Vlog // Inters Group 🏁

Hi Guys and Girl,
Hope all is well as per usual!
I decided to throw a lil 'Rona Era' trackday vlog together 😎
I was fortune enough to attend No Limits' FIRST trackday of the year which was at Donington Park which I had booked for a while but didnt expect it to happen! 😱
I went there with my fella Mike and my good friends Matt, Eddie and Alexander 😊
As you can see, it was weirdly empty compared to usual trackdays with no spectators allowed💆‍♀️
I hope you all enjoy 👍
Take care,
Usernamekate 🏁

This is my first look at Donington Park,and this was an exhilarating ride, i marvel how you shift your body weight as you negotiate the bends, a bit scary, but you were so in control, and the helmet view had me on the edge of my seat, i'd love to have your skills, thanks for a great day out.

[@markjosephbudgieridgard]

Epic as usual UNK... you definitely win rear of the year award .... Ohh forget the way you handle that beast is pretty darn kool too.... You really are riding it like yah stole it UNK 👍❤️X

[@TennRides]

Great riding, Kate. I have loved how barren the streets have been lately, but it is all starting to change and pick back up to the old bumper to bumper, etc. Must have been wonderful without the track being packed.

[@Chris-kh2fm]

That was great I loved it, I was sat on my chain leaning left and right with you, I nearly had my knee down at one point, LOL.

[@UsernameKate]

LOVE IT 😂😂😂

[@colinburgess3760]

Really well done Kate. You can certainly handle that bike. Put most of us to shame, you'd wipe the floor with this old codger ha ha

[@gonnahavemesomefun]

Wow fantastic footage much better than front facing camera, really shows the cornering off 👏

[@glenwhyte2555]

Thanks for sharing, never been to Donington but looked like you were taking good lines. 👍

[@mauricelevy9027]

Good clear footage .Good to bikes back out -at last .Although we'll have a short race season it'll hopefully be a but safe one for all at No Limits from August.Snetterton on .Thanks for posting .

[@ashleyphotog]

what a day for some great track fun, you looked like you made steady improvements each session too.

[@niceviewoverthere4463]

Found a nice day for it. Last time I went to Donington was to watch Casey Stoner take the MotoGP. Also got to remember what proper English mud is, having lived in Oz for three decades previously. Proper mud in the Donington camp site around the portaloos. Lovely! And they don't even have washbasins in England! Worst thing though was they ran out of beer on the Sunday and we had to drink lager! Phillip island - all is forgiven! Great tracks though - both of them.

[@torangclayruz4098]

It's absolutely fantastic to see you riding on the bike in iconic circuit...🙄😅

[@haroldlo8624]

Superb Vid! Sadly trackdays are a thing of the past for me, but thanks for bringing back great memories of Donnington! 👍😁

[@HippoDrones]

Looks like you had a bloomin good day. Am booked in for Brands Hatch GP in August, can't wait! :-)

[@edwardchatwin3584]

Great video Kate, really captures how hot that day was and how much of a day of learning we all had 👏

Absolutely smashed it,wish I could have that sort of confidence for a track day, great video

Anyone can do it! When I first started, I just wobbled around anglesey lol progressed a bit but still a long way to go! 🙌

[@ollierai2198]

@@UsernameKate ill give it a try one day, as need to try everything once and then again 🤣

[@ollierai2198]

@The Lone Ninja 82 oh I like the sound of instructor 😁

[@WDXash]

It’s easier on the track than it is on the road. You set your own pace, nothing coming the other way, no kerbs, lampposts, junctions, or pedestrians. If you’re happy to ride on public highways, then you’ll be absolutely fine on a track. Don’t be too proud to grab an instructor for a bit of guidance. If they are around they’ll be more than happy to help with lines, apexes, and braking points etc. You’ll love it.

[@radmantommy8015]

Hi Kate what a great day weather wise and a great day track wise nice one I like the fact you were keeping up speed wise with your friend you done well mate 👌👌🤗🤗👍👍

[@UsernameKate]

Noooo haha he is MUCH faster than me. He was slowing his roll to help me 👍

[@paulfoot1042]

Great video....that new lid really looks the part👍

[@jerrylawson6905]

That was a great session. No big issues, remember to not over brake slow corners. You are fast in the fastest corners and your braking skills look great. Just thoughts from a former Pro racer. Keep at it.

[@UsernameKate]

I ALWAYS over brake in slower corners, such a fool 🤣🤣

[@Pugwash.]

Some really nice footage from the bike there . I'm not sure why YT recommended your video but I've subscribed. Donington has a special place in my heart as I watched Foggy win his last WSBK there, some years ago.

[@gazgleeson5669]

I'm doing my first ever bike trackday next week at croft.. done a few car ones inc Nurburgring.. but never on 2 wheels.. another great video

[@dan_the_drifter321]

Nice, got my first bike track day booked at Cadwell with NoLimits in August... Been to a lot of car drift days before and ye I can't say I've ever seen any track day that quiet. On the plus side I would imagine the sign on and wristband process was super quick, not having to wade through random people wondering around, plus all your gear should be safe if no-one is there to pinch it 👍

[@jerrylawson6905]

Good job girl!! you look like a Pro racer.

[@adamstratford6740]

Brilliant video Kate 👏👏 very well done on improving session by session. Obviously we all know how physically draining it is in your later sessions so well done 👏👏 been looking forward to this dropping and you didn’t disappoint 👍🏻👍🏻 Adam 🇬🇧

[@UsernameKate]

Man, the heat was knackering 🥵 glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@61js]

Great stuff, really got the juices flowing.

[@djbgatekeeper]

Great post, Donnington is my fav UK circuit - must get round to taking my 765 there one day - ride safe Kate :-)

Nice ride.I wish succes.You ride so proffessional more than men .congralitions!

Thanks Paul!

[@davidbradley1794]

What a perfect day for it! Nice body position, I wish I would build my confidence up to lean more!

[@leehopkins9876]

I was booked to be there but had to work😖 . Great vid, nice lines

[@MatNewtonTrio]

Nice job. I love Donington, such a lovely track.

[@prozeza]

National is so much better! No bloody Melbourne!

[@seamasterrsoar9974]

Rock on Kate well done just a pointer go back on to the seat hump when hard on the brakes and head down ,and lean in to the corner ,so that means that you can take your time going round the curve,and then you can go fast out when sat up right , do not fist it on the lean ,that’s your high side , no worries if you have slide control,all the best S

[@stanpeverley]

Looks like a great day. Bet it was nice to get back on the track😀

[@UsernameKate]

Oh it was blissful!

[@jamesfisher1827]

Last time I was at Donington it was for WSBK last year. The pit garages looked very different. Looks like you have great weather.

[@mikehighton8804]

Great video Kate I’m now wanting to do another track day as soon as I can 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Thanks for the link via twitter Kate, have a look at the GoPro mic foams they work really well (one that covers the whole GP)

[@stevenesq]

Never been to a track day always wanted to try it, nerves i guess lol.

[@clackarelli]

The slower group is very sedate and once you quell your nerves you can move up to intermediate. Never regret something you haven't done.

[@johnyoung1919]

Looked good from where I'm sitting. Pinned it @usernamekate. Have you got your new kood winslayer coming for the next one. New lid looks good !! 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁

[@glenns001]

cool, ive been riding bikes a long time but never on a race track, you would kick my ass

[@patchthesinclair5896]

The big improvement by sesh 6 was at least in part because of an improved body position (less crossed up). I can only afford a 20 year old bike but I spend on school days and keep going back. Treat yourself to the California chaps and see / feel the difference.

[@allankrogh6707]

what does such a trackday weekend cost. could be, I should try it again. When all this covid 19 is over. like on one of the English tracks 😃

Where did you highside? Just after the old hairpin? If so, it was infront of me 😬

@@UsernameKate Nah Melbourne. One of Matts 636's. Apart from that was a mega day.

[@Falcon-15]

Redgate, I take a different line each lap! I can never get it right!

[@UsernameKate]

My thoughts on all the corners lol

[@feaverish]

I always turn in too early on Redgate! Hope the weather is as good as this at the end of the month

[@clackarelli]

I found it the hardest corner- which is odd as it's not blind or uphill. I've only done it on an RD400 in the rain back in the day and I never got close to getting it right and I've never understood why....

[@Jac7968]

Could you do a video on how to start into racing? Or is there a way to try racing without having to gather up all the equipment? Never raced bikes before don't know If I'd be good at it.

[@UsernameKate]

Hi Travis, I dont race. I just do trackdays for fun 😁

[@Jac7968]

@@UsernameKate ah yes that's what I meant sorry.

[@WiredSolaris]

Love that track. Prefer my R6 over the R1 on it due to the short straights. Like the torque and grit it provides.

[@WiredSolaris]

And I crashed bad at Coppice. Carrying all that speed, pull in your break lever and it just goes straight to the grip. Something cut one of my break lines (steel braided even). No breaks at that speed. Don't remember squat after that. Though, I went back. Not scart! Me R1 is the Yellow Limited Edition but with the Rossi Camel body work on it. My R6 is so old, hell it is carbureted but that baby has some pull out of a corner but I prefer to out break and out corner rather than chase yah down the straights. Straights are no fun.

[@rjwade00]

This looks so freaking fun

[@barnygrundy9371]

That was brilliant, is there a data logger thing you could put on the videos for rpm, speed, n stuff?

[@The333]

Cool AF! You ride great!

Does anyone rock up to trackdays on their road bikes do the day then ride home anymore. Im feeling the need for a sports bike again now 😀

[@UsernameKate]

Yea some do!

[@8610sarge]

@@UsernameKate I'll be down on the fat bob then 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@WDXash]

Some events only allow road bikes, and they have to arrive on the bike that they’ll be using on the track. It’s done so that it doesn’t intimidate other participants, but there are different groups for different abilities, so I’m not sure it helps particularly. I like to trailer mine in and have spare kit, a few basic tools, spare fuel, and tyre warmers (if they’re allowed).

[@shaftalot]

Haha i remember rocking up to croft in the 90s crashing then riding home 👊👊😅

[@prozeza]

I do!

[@key2dalo]

Can I suggest putting the camera behind the screen? Might help with wind noise and allow us to see where your are going. Look forward to more track day vids soon.

[@key2dalo]

Ok so I just got to the other view lol

[@B.o.B91]

Great video and riding! What modifications have you made to convert the bike to track riding?

Lovely track and pristine paddock area. Kate, IMHO...(you don’t do it all the time, but) you need to move you butt less and your shoulders and head more. Face your turn instead of pulling your upper body away. Helped me...food for thought!!!

it brings back really good memories from when i was driving on anderstorp raceway on my gsxr 1000. shit i miss it.

[@ixifutureproof9286]

I feel I need to put a camera on the back of my bike before I suggest anything. I've no idea what I look like, body position etc. So take this with a pinch of salt. Whilst I can see your weights on your pegs, from this angle you don't look like your holding the tank with your knee. Into a right hander I have my weight on my left peg and hold my weight on my left knee. I don't put right my knee out (I don't think), but that's just me. Also it looks like your moving your bum across the seat more than your shoulders across the bars. In the same right hander I'll put my right sit bone over the edge of the seat, chest/tummy connected to the tank and move my head and shoulders over the right hand. I'm far from an expert, these are just pointers I found helped with my stability and connection with the bike through all corners.

[@teddd10]

This is so wrong whilst people are still isolating...

[@maycrotch8576]

I absolutely love donington, you were riding brilliantly there.🙂
