    Honest feedback.....

    I'd really like to do this track date but I find it pretty difficult to justify the time and cost to travel to Taupo for just FOUR 20 minute riding sessions.

    Despite running a professional well organised outfit, I think MotoTT have it wrong. They are making too much of a concession to a handful of Supermotards and hence not considering everyones need for time on the track.

    I think they should be aiming at six 20 minute sessions with 3 groups. With the current format there's simply too much waiting around and not enough time on the track. They don't offer enough track time to justify the trip.

    Maybe the fact that their track days are safer and have minimal crashes, comapre that to parting with your hard earned money?
    I beleive that the four sessions have made it safer.

    I'm in. But not with the normal $500 bike. I'm bringing my fireblade its more photogenic

    That doesn't make sense to me at all.... I've seen crashes-a-plenty on their days (just like any other organiser), I've seen them operate without an ambulance and I've seen aggressive and dangerous racing by motard riders tolerated on track sessions... so MotoTT doesn't stand out as being super-safe to me..

    However, my point about track time stands and I dont believe it has any impact on safety.

    If MotoTT were to run your suggested format we would end up with way too many people on the track at one time which could and probably would result in a higher crash rate due to people trying to pass others that really should be in a slower group.
    Personally I'd rather get a "freer" track so I can go out there and learn some more and enjoy myself without the feeling of congestion and concern.
    BTW every time I've attended a MotoTT track day down in Taupo I've had 5 or 6 sessions and each time there has been an ambulance in attendance.
    Maybe it would be more beneficial for you to simply utilise the Pukekohe track days due to your location.

    Hey.... I dont want to get in to a debate on safety. MotoTT are a safe outfit.... as safe as I have seen (ambulance event aside)....

    On a circuit the size of Taupo it is possible to have safe numbers on track and make the day economically viable. Thats not guesswork, thats a fact based on trackdays run on the 6 x 20 minute x 3 group format in the UK. I just think the event they are offering could be improved ....4 sessions is not enough.
