Still too cold for me to even think about dragging my bike out!
What's the new Snett like? Is it worth the trip there. Its a proper twat to get to from up here. Last went 10 years ago on the old circuit but can't quite remember what it was like!
Ps, rev it harder on down changes

I do usually, much harder, but honestly if was flapping freeeezing, and a huge wind force as well. Temps said 5 degrees in the garage, outside, deffo in the minus with the windchill. I can brake later as well, I was braking at the 300m marker on the straights, but on a hot day there last year, I was braking at the 200m marker. It was just so cold and the track just wasn't giving the grip.
This is my 2nd of the year already 
I really like Snetterton, more than Brands tbh. Its flat which its a bit lame, but its very technical, fast corners, slow corners, double apex corners, and Corams is a brake whilst your leant over, get it upright, bang it down 2 gears and really hit the brakes, roll off and get on the power quickly onto the start/fin straight.
I'll be back there this year, hopefully on slicks (run K2s) and weather thats a tad warmer.
