BSB Test Day, Donington Park, Thursday, 14th March, 2013.

Using all the skills he has finely honed in winning the BSB title three times in the past, Ryuichi Kiyonari negotiates some steps whilst clutching a racing boot.
We are grateful that the weather forecast was right: it won't rain today. Trouble is, they didn't say anything about snow! Blimey, it's cold in the Pit Lane.
Simon Andrews: fastest Superstock rider of the day. He's from Worcester, y'know.
Jacob Smrz and Clive Padgett are hoping to put together a budget to enable them to run a Honda for the whole season. We shall see.
Queuing up for the Food of the Gods. The Paddock Cafe did a roaring trade all day. We had Pesto Chicken and chips in case you were wonderin'. Just the job on a freezing cold day.
Oh yes, we remember the good olde daze when riders used to battle with the raw power of their machine as they exited Redgate. Now, thanks to all the gizmos and rider-aids this is about as good as it gets. This is Dan Linfoot, by the way, we like him. He can pull a little wheelie out of Redgate.
Connor 'Too Tall' Cummins getting in some sneaky practice for a season on The Roads with his Superstock Yamaha.
Trying to get a shot of Simon Andrews. He's from Worcester, y'know. Have we mentioned that?
It's time to go home and Vicky and Howard have selected their chosen steed but, given the temperature, they'll stick to the innards of a cozy Lancer if it's all the same to you.

Yay! Another season of motorsport has started!
