    turn 4 is the one that i dont like, the rest of the track is good, Turn 8 when doing track 2 (just the new track) is awesome . not a huge fan of the full track. Have they repaired those shitty slippery patchs?

    They have recently put in some epoxy and grit on some spots but i kept slipping on the last corner coming into the finishing straight, couldnt figure out why. Im pretty lucky i didnt come off there come to think about it.....

    Thats all the start grid lines for the cars, Try it in the rain ! , you have to hold a tight line and stay off them till you get the bike straightened up, then it still slides around when you hard on the gas. On the Taupo Road Race Spectacular thread in the racing section Scrivvy has talked to the track people and the proper repairs are suposed to be happining, hope so before i race there again, The synthetic black ice just fucks up all the lines, even the lighter coloured seal on it has less grip. Manfeild has loads of grip, but the track it just 3 drag strips.

    Been there a while now. Did a track day in March i think. And they put cones around the slippery stuff coming onto the front straight. That was to keep you out wide and away from it.

    It's because the bike is unweighted during the transition from left to right lean, and add cold tyres - it's all over rover. Generally only a problem in the first lap, less so on second lap.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
