Can't tell you - I was in a truck. I did note that a line dried very quickly. Have a vid up in a while.

And a GSXR600 sounds great when it goes past slightly wrung out pretty close to you.

For a wet track with new seal and brand new (never touched the road) tyres, there was a surprising amount of grip. I was on a K9 GSX-R1000 and was riding very cautiously as I didn't want a corner named after me for the wrong reasons.
The circuit is great and as BD mentioned it was drying very quickly but not fast enough in the 20 mins that we had to push hard. Plus there were some Porsches using the track earlier and they had a bunch of cones out there that I could have done without as they were in the way in a few places.

Overall, you have to do it. It rocked.

Why are those Porsche flags hanging? Did you guys go around on a GT3 Cup car?

I got to ride during the lunch break of a Porsche experience session that was going on. BD and Devil had the luxury of the tray of a hilux.

Why are there cars out on the track?

I was under the impression that it would take several weeks, if not longer, for the surface to properly cure?

The cars have limitations on what they are allowed to do. It also helps with the curing process apparently as it helps draw the oil out of the seal (so I was told).

I however was allowed to go as fast as I wanted. Yeehaa

Driver training day. BYO porsche.

But, I was paying attention however:
There were plenty of bog standard carrera's, but also a 996 turbo, a 997 turbo, a 996 GT2 and a 997 GT3 RS (NOM NOM!)
