kiwifruit wrote off his ZX-10R that way. And sinfull can testify that GSX1400s look real good from behind going slightly sideways at that point... aye!

What sorta tyres were you riding on?

Anyhoo, sounds like everyone had a great day, well done on organising it, Frosty!

It certainly caught me out. My memory of it was the front end washing out (and there were very clear marks on the front tyre) as I was accelerating through the apex after settling the change of direction from turn 2. But this doesn't make sense unless there is some change in track surface there that I just doesn't matter when going slower. I didn't go back and have a close look after.
I was on lovely new racetechs that were up to temp. It was definitely faster than I've done before. Probably fastest I tried all day to be honest.
