Two laps and the session would be over!

That’s a monster of a track, but if people learn The Island I guess they’ll learn that track.

Make Tankslap official testers for Triumph and take us all there on a company trip.

Everyone wins that way ;)

A Street Cup race would sound majestic.

I am not sure about that, it's going to be a lap of two halfs for sure, the new track is really tight and twisty I rode that when it was first opened. The track owner let us have a few laps wen we were out there last year or the year before.
In fairness there was no paint and as it is so twisty and up and down I lost track of where I was going ha ha.
Compared with the older track, which is more flowing....after two laps of this monster I think I would be knackered.

Looking at the plans I hope there's is still two tracks and not just the one, I have not read the artical so don't know, would be a shame if this is the case, I enjoy the Almeria track.

That just reminded me of something we were told when I did my first TD......
"It's not about beating the friend you came here with, or the guy that just passed you....it's about beating the track" - or something along those lines.

And something else I read years ago..."Any dickhead can be fast on a road they know well....being fast on a road you don't know is something else entirely ".

Don't really see the point of that in all honesty. Seems too big for a track day. Although I'd love to try it!
