Thread: Wakefield Park 21st of May

    I reckon you can overtake there... under brakes into it and block pass or on the way out and then into T9 since you almost don't have to brake for it (I'm sure some don't). But tbh, Wakey and I still need to sort out some differences so I'm not the best person to be commenting on this. My PB there is a high 6 I think which is nothing to write home about.

    I've ran off the fish hook a few times.
    Mate I reccon doing 7s 1st time on track is awesome, you'll be killing it with a bit more seat time.
    Defiantly let us know next time your heading down. I'll chase u around.

    Thanks for replying though, any advice or thoughts on riding any track is good! I only got into the 7s, was hoping for 6s, but the last session the temp dropped a fair bit and with it the grip seemed to go too. Next time... shit, race weekend, I wanna get a little faster!

    Pick the toughest looking one and take to them with a pillow case full of coke cans. The rest won't mess with you then. Otherwise they'll tear you apart.

    Round the outside at T3 then the inside line into T4 for a block pass works pretty well if you are carrying a lot more speed than the other bike. Under brakes into the fish hook or if you're carrying more speed, around the outside which puts you on the inside for T9. I also find that as long as you're not on the bumpy part on the track, under brakes into T10 as a lot of people brake way too early there. Some people pass between T1 and T2 but I can't usually bring myself to do this as I've had too many people cut straight across the track here leaving you with nowhere to go. These definitely aren't the only places and those faster than me have heaps more but these are the places I try to use.

    Had an awesome day at the track. Weather was fantastic, track was fantastic, grip was fantastic and not many people in the 'Superbike' group Sorry Nate I didn't manage to catch you all day. Saw you once I think as you were leaving haha

    I managed to get a couple of 1.04's and very consistent 5's where I know I was slow in a couple of places so I know where to work on next time. New top speed at 207 too which is significant to me on my old POS. I feel I could hold throttle so much longer down the straight next time so there's gains to be had.

    quick vid

    Haha good vid Geoff! Kearn's r6 sure has some power to it. Zoid!!!! 7s is farking flying first time at wakey and you are right about temp being critical to grip, drops off like crazy when the sun goes in. Wakey is all pretty much block passing and the best passing maneuvers are in the scary corners, t1 - t2 (inside or outside), t3 - t4 (outside around t3 for t4 block), dive in t5. run from t6 to t8 (inside into fish hook), Around the outside at fishhook for t9. and braking into t10 left or right side hahaha. all make you clench up a bit and take lots of planning.

    Thanks for the info mate! I found offline felt reeeaaaaallly offline there. Mind you, my whole lap was probably offline anyway...

    God knows how I'll find the proper lines in warm up. I guess once my nose gets rubbed in it I'll know where i shouldn't be a little?

    Geoff, I saw you roll past a couple of times and forgot to come say hello!

    I should've manned up and gone the quick group to try and follow some people!
