Those are the funniest looking cars I've ever seen on Donnington. How do they stay upright!

I love how cycles make that really annoying chicane actually look fun.

The Foggy esses are actually loads of fun. You brake so hard and deep into the left, then open right out on the exit to the right. I remember during the WSBK round there this year they were drifting on the gas (yeah bikes can drift too) out of it towards the Melbourne loop. Just have to watch for a real dip at the inside of the right hander. Actually better to ride over the kerb than hit it really.

Something a bit more relevant to SRS is my trip to Catalunya from September. It's an awesome circuit! The front straight is long enough to almost hit the limiter in 6th (even my 115hp bike was hitting 152mph/245kmh). Then you're braking really hard down 3 gears into the first turn. After that, on a bike at least, you're not upright again until you're back on the front straight. Literally either banked over cornering or on the brakes. Or both. Was such a privelege to get the opportunity to ride it for 3 days.
