Winter Warmer Trackday @ Brands 2nd Dec

I have to ask the question - was it in any way sensible or responsible of this company to organise a track day in December in the UK?

Was there a total disregard for your safety?

Could someone have been badly hurt or even killed?

Did they sort of "test the water" by seeing how many of you fell off on the first bend?

How many motor cycle races are held in the UK in December?

 

To be fair, we are all adults. We were briefed and told several times, take it easy, it is slippery out there. Ride to the conditions. Trackdays don't automatically mean full throttle. Hats off to all those that went down, I heard no complaining about 'why' they were letting us out if its so slippery.

And as Tom said, they did send cars and their own riders out first to test the circuit before anyone was let loose.

We were still pushing 100+ miles on the straights...just some didn't slow down enough for the corners...

 

does that bit about the corners include me Gareth lol

 

If you check the weather over the last 10 yrs on that weekend, tbh you would have find it quite mild, or maybe damp, there was a couple of years recent it was bad, but not really had bad weather in early December for many years, so you cannot blame them really for organizing it, I bet it was nr sold out so certainly a demand for it.

 

you pays your money you takes your chance,
it was still a good day and 3 sessions for about £20, not bad for a day out

 

Well I wasn't thinking it at the time...but now that you mention it...yes
