MotoTT Track 5, new configuration

[ajturbo]

i think this is a good CHANGE... give it a go and see how YOU find it...

then again i ride a girls bike.. so what would i know?....lol

[Tony.OK]

I like the old track hairpin so thats all good, not sure about the straight being cut in half as its really the only place for ya too stretch yer bikes legs abit, and have a nap too

This is a trackday after all though.........not a test day, so who cares if a 600 beats ya?

Alan have ya given any thought to what may happen if someone overcooks the new chicane and goes straight through? Would hate to see someone shoot out from the runoff into someone exiting the chicane.
Just a thought

I heard a rumour T9 & T10 had been discontinued for a good reason . . . .

[rachprice]

That configuration has removed the two best/ballsy-est corners on the track: T8 L/H sweeper and the R/H-er following it.

I fucking LOVE that corner!

Coming out of the left before it, accelerating out, cranked over....your head is saying 'slow down! slow down!' but there is no need to (well not on my little bike anyway) and its the most satisfying feeling in the world

Yes, lots of thought, discussion and testing.

Good on ya's....................thought ya would've.

Hope it goes well.................if I'm lucky I might have a bike by then to come have a wee play on

[Kornholio]

Dont mind the kink down the back straight but the old hairpin coming off T8 is crap.... First no wheelies, now this :/

[Morcs]

So just when you are full on the power out of turn 8, you have to stand it up and go hard on the brakes to take the new turn 9

There will always be some that think its a terrible idea, ya can't please everyone! We are trying to please the majority (of the target market), adding a new twist to the track while minimising the potential hazards associated with high speed differentials.

my 599cc's kicked your ass, so what chance do you have against another 391cc's..??

Excellent idea and congrats on using ya noggins and putting safety first.

To the nay sayers its a trackday get it trackday not a race day

Is this the only track configuration MotoTT intend to run ? Do they intend to run the old track format on some days ?
