Sunny but cold
First time this circuit has been used and except for swept corners , a good circuit.
Stayed firmly in the bunch as the cold and headwind messed with my head.
One corner when out front heard a clatter behind like my bike had decoupled, eased off to check, lost the bunch and then spent 5 minutes chasing back on , going red but got myself back in.

The next race is scheduled for the 26th May and will have the tactics better on track as I am now familiar with the circuit.
Probably the best section to attack is 1/2 mile away from the combination of turns - a sharp RH/sharp LH and then a sweeping LH to bring back towards the finish line. If you can establish a gap after these bends and work hard on that section to the start of another lap then the break might actually stick.
Driving the bunch hard - very hard - but they all seem to be sticking with it!
