Hope weather is good for you all. Copse isn't to bad loads of runof if you get it wrong. Good for building confidence, got braking wrong a couple of times( left it to late I thought) but still got round ok because of width of track. Abbey curve was the one for me, sweeping left trouble is the quicker you get you sort of slingshot out of it and the bridge comes up bloody quick before right hander. Its a long way round so any onboard stuff you can watch helps to remember where you are going. Have Fun

I was on my 9r. never looked over start finish but was pulling hard in 4th from memory before braking, hanger straight looks long thought i would get 9 wound right up but still only managed about 155, braking too early here. abbey curve i think was about 130+

I did Silverstone back in May when it rained and then rained some more, what a track especially with inters on and the track was awash with water. We were doing 5 min laps to start off with...

Yep know what you mean. I have never taped mine but you have to be very careful when you do take a glance. 9r was tricky as numbers so small you could do half a track trying to read the right. Digital on 10r is great as only need quick glance. Had 142 at brands along start straight don't know if thats any good ,still could't stop myself braking too early for paddock though.

We were lucky, nice hot day. It was the same day that the ilmor GP bike was messing around. It went out with the fast group a couple of times, sounded awesome and looked very quick. made some fast guys  think.
