    There was quite a few of the field who then went on to ride another GP with about 1/2hr break.
    Yep, Nathaniel, you, Ken, Malcolm, Regan, Andrew, and Me. I'm not sure how the rst of you felt after the F4 GP but I was damn near crippled from exhaustion.
    Malcolm and I ran in the sidecar GP Saturday as well to collect the whole set, glad that didn't also run on Sunday.

    My hands were a bit buzzy, but it was my wrists & fingers from braking down hill into that hairpin. for that reason alone the reverse direction would be better, but yes there are concerns about the fence & that should figure strongly I guess (having not looked closely or ridden anti clockwise).
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Reverse direction was a blast and I'm glad I rode it. Would take some serious time to get used to, it becomes a lot more technical, braking down the hill is pretty intense and the section across the finish line is completely different than I expected, Rich may be right that putting the extra bend in might help, the other thing I noticed was that the track is a lot bumpier when run that way.

    Was that the galley pump? Mine has been better than the flash brushless one. Still not ideal

    yes the same as your one , just keeped stoping then you tap it and starts up again for a min or so then stops again , maybe just a dud , someone saw water or somthing pumping out the bike on the track so worked it out to the engine over heating and dumping out the over flow bottle

    I did have wires in break where it rubbed against the engine. Re soldered it and Put a piece of foam there to stop it happening

    I've not really had a good and proper run on an F5 bike until now.

    Nah, sold on the concept, rather than any actual bike.
    Thinking about using the RS frame as an F5 build, at least medium term.

    Really, really should have got that second set of RS wheels that Chris C snapped up!

    After the other bikes are finished I feel a 50 coming on. I was thinking 100 but the wasp swarm just sounds great.
