AdamAshmore 12 Feb 2003, 14:59 Mallory Park has it's first track day of the year today (I think). Has anyone been? And, more importantly, has anyone tried the new layout.
I am there on the 27th for a track day and will be using the new layout. I'd rather use the old one, but I am trying to keep an open mind.
So if you've driven round it, spill the beans... :)
ShinyAndy 12 Feb 2003, 17:39 I think it was a practice/test day not a trackday. We've been sent some pictures of the new "Edwina" corner and shall be there on the 22nd so can let you know

Went Mallory on Wednesday for 1st pracky, new part of track is very good, super smooth shame to see the old esses go, nice fast corner reall bulls out stuff
the new part will help the smaller bikes compete i hope
40 quids for an hour 3 x 20 min sessions
AdamAshmore 27 Feb 2003, 21:18 We used the old circuit today. Which was great.
Tried two sets of tyres/wheels and we are not sure if it makes much difference lap time wise, but one set makes more squealy noises!
Cars still use the old circuit
Bikes are on the new, went wednesday 26 feb, another god dry day, track is getting more grips every week
AdamAshmore 28 Feb 2003, 19:27 Has the MSA inspected the new circuit yet?
legends56 1 Mar 2003, 22:43 I was there on the 27th too (in one of the D Type replicas). The only thing which I wasn't sure about was the surface change on the way into, and part-way through, the Esses.
AdamAshmore 2 Mar 2003, 12:30 Excellent, which D where you in? (colour?)
I didn't think the surface change was too bad, but I don't go to Mallory enough to really notice.
1st race there sunday, track is much better and safer for bikes
some good results, and only 3-4 red flags all day, top stuff
Treated us 2 some nice new kerbs stones as well
keep the dirt of the track !!
thats it folks
