Well, today was the Donington trackday on the full GP circuit. First time on track for (a more than nervous) Jeanette and first time at Donington for my brother and a mate.
It all started last week when we took Jeanette’s VFR400 to be looked at, since it was running like a bag of spanners. Several hours of investigative work and a rejetting resulted in a healthy 64.7bhp. See chart below (look at the appalling curve and power before - the blue lines).
With that sorted we were ready for the track. Since my trailer will only take one bike and since it had to take my (non road legal) track bike, this left Jeanette with the task of riding her VFR there. Well that didn’t happen! 
So, 5am this morning we got up, I donned my leathers while she got in the nice warm car! 110 miles of cramped VFR400 hooning later we were at the track. I say cramped; I now refer to her bike as the “mini moto”.
We met up with the others and got ready, clear blue skies overhead. It seemed that Inters were over subscribed, so I was bumped into Fast… out on track with the Phase One Endurance team (World Endurance champions '93, '00, '03) 
The weather didn’t last long, heavy(ish) winds bringing dark clouds overhead. Two sessions in, at 11:30 it rained enough to soak the track. It then proceded to drizzle for the next couple of hours, just enough to ensure the track didn’t dry. 
Then, around 3pm the skies cleared again and the sun came out, meaning that the last two sessions were bone dry… decent result, considering!
No-one in our group had any “moments”, which was good. I had a couple of slides in the wet, but nothing major. One of the Phase One guys binned it at Copse on the first lap out in the same session, so no-one’s infalable. Anyway, some pictures…

Track bike looks good, I’m quite envious.
