Snetterton Track day Part 1 Day 1 | More fun than just chasing lap times | Aprilia Factory Trackday

[@jaykay1168]

What I like about your blogs is that you’re not trying to be super slick or make like you’re super fast. Just a genuine trackday experience and pov. Excellent.

[@ChasingTenths]

Thank you very much mate, I think that comment summarises me totally lol. That’s the sort of person I am and that’s what I am trying to portray. I just want everyone to feel the trackday experience with me rather than shout out about my bike upgrades or speed or constant laptime chatter Thank you for the appreciation

[@johngretzer6956]

👍 Thankyou, brought back some good memories. I’m 65 now.

[@ChasingTenths]

Wonderful John, thank you for this, it means a lot to me , glad I could paint a lovely picture for you in the form of a video

[@ChasingTenths]

Exactly, I am always so so rusty and even nervous at the start of the sessions but then it all falls into place mate . But I think I need to really get fit this year and really get my head together first thing in the morning before I start getting these rusty moments . Thanks for watching and commenting my friend

[@WinningInters]

Great content as always Ab, really gave me the trackday blues, Snetterton is such a great circuit! Can't wait to get back to it this year.

[@ChasingTenths]

If you loved this then you will love part 2 even more because that was truly a performance orientated day where I really pulled away with some self pleasing times . Thanks for watching and commenting mate . Very kind of you

[@Focused_Veteran]

@@ChasingTenths good man! Can't wait looking forward to it Abhi 💪🏻

[@6arethevan5]

Another cracking video Abhi, made me giddy thinking about this season....... fingers crossed we all have a good, long and safe one 🤞😂🏍️👍

[@ChasingTenths]

Honestly Gareth, this time of the year watching or editing trackday footage feels really odd and sometimes you think how the hell we did these things in summer but trust me come spring you will start feeling the speedy positive vibes . Cheers for taking the time out to comment mate

You forgot to give a special mention to the amoeba that almost killed someone. Great content though and look forward to part2.

[@ChasingTenths]

Cheers mate lol . Amoeba who ? I didn’t understand Part 2 should be ready tomorrow:) Thanks for taking time out to comment

[@archieslap6767]

@@ChasingTenths some spineless individual who's hopefully given up bikes. They cut someone up on the brakes and gave them nowhere to go so they crashed hard.

[@ChasingTenths]

@@archieslap6767 aaaaaahhhh ok , makes sense now lol. Mate every trackday you see something like this happen

[@TheBikerCrewUAE]

Another brilliant video bud! I'm having major withdrawal symptoms. The next track day here is on the 20th of Feb! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ChasingTenths]

Thanks mate , that’s not far away mate . You’ll be on it in no time dude . Hope it’s a good time Time for prep for you Don’t be like me lol Prep so you don’t get issues like me lol

[@TheBikerCrewUAE]

@@ChasingTenths Yup...prep is all I have been doing. Might hit the mini bike track in the interim though.

[@ChasingTenths]

@@TheBikerCrewUAE mini bike is the way to go , you learn so much , I haven’t done it but I heard loads of racers do it here In U.K. all the time . We have a massive Ohvale mini bike community here

[@TheBikerCrewUAE]

@@ChasingTenths Totally... I've done it once already. Great fun and yes, you do learn a lot.

[@ChasingTenths]

@@TheBikerCrewUAE I need to get on it then

[@FelixPerez-rt1rg]

I love your videos and love your performance parts review and tips. I want to start recording my trackdays, so was wondering what editing program your using and what program to use if I want to put some music in the edited videos? Keep up the great chanel!!! Regards Felix Sweden

[@ChasingTenths]

Hello Felix, I have a few friends from Sweden who follow the channel now. It’s so lovely and they are all so enthusiastic & super appreciative . So, When I started KZbin in 2019 I had a basic laptop and so I could only have a medium powered editing software , so I downloaded Filmora X . Slowly slowly I learnt how to use it best way, through KZbin . There are so many channels on KZbin who teach you Filmora and it’s a very easy software to learn . I didn’t download the pro version (it’s complicated a little and expensive ) and just concentrated on Filmora X and now even though I have a MacBook Pro, I still use the same software . It’s easy and does a great job . And I think it’s 60 euros for life , no monthly subscription. In terms of music , KZbin has a lot of copyright free music for new creators , lots of songs built into it . But you can pay 9.99 euros a month and get copyright free music from Artlist or Epedemic sounds. But KZbin has plenty of music for free . Let me know please if you need any help or advice on this . I am more than happy to help . Feel free to join Chasing Tenths group on Facebook page so you can contact me directly . :) Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@Leemonty187]

Hi abi Great video mate. What did you do different to get a 2.05 lap compared to your normal lap times?

[@ChasingTenths]

Hey Leeroy, this was my third time on this circuit and I honestly felt so stuck on a 2 min 12 and really couldn’t find any answers because I am normally much quicker so I think the second day (part 2 video to be launched next week ) , I really put my head down and tried follow the fast boys and tried to see how they exit the corner and their entry speeds. Especially last sector that long right hander, Plus I had my suspension sorted properly by MTS suspension , plus the tarmac was super hot on day 2, that really gave me super confidence, first time in my life I felt that tuned suspension really helped me. So I think it was a mixture of many things plus a little brave too on day 2. All will be shown in part 2, you will really get a better understanding then. Honestly , I was so chuffed because I really found this track hard work . Feel free to ask any more questions :)

[@peterwilliams6110]

sounds like the quick shifter needs a sensitivity adjustment

[@ChasingTenths]

You are absolutely spot on there Peter, and I did try to do it but there is an LED type display on it and I pressed a button and the whole display went blank so I didn’t know whether I am decreasing or increasing it so I left it . I have the bike booked in now so I will be getting it properly sorted . The thing is the problem actually sorts it self out on second session onwards on every trackday

[@PaulieG1]

I love Snetterton! What gearing are you running from stock Abhi?

[@ChasingTenths]

Hi Paulie, it’s a stunning track isn’t it . I am running 43 rear 16 front , I tried 42 rear and 16 that was too long and 44 teeth was just a bit too aggressive and I was constantly changing gears , but this 16/43 is perfect and in part 2 it will come in really handy when laptimes tumble down

[@PaulieG1]

@@ChasingTenths Thanks Abhi, are they 16/41 stock?

[@ChasingTenths]

@@PaulieG1 I think some had 41 and some had 42 depending if it’s pre 2015 or after , both are quite long toothed though I found 16/43 is just right Great for a track like Silverstone And perfect for somewhere like Mallory park

[@PaulieG1]

@@ChasingTenths Many thanks👍
