BSB Test Day, Donington Park, Tuesday, 1st April, 2014.

It's just before midday and we've arrived. 
Time for a stretch.
The weather is fairly warm, verging on cool, and cloudy just like that Carol said it would be.
We've missed the first SBK session but we later learn that only 1 bike went out on account of the fact that the track was 'damp'. Blimey, they should have been here last year when the track was cold and it snowed at one point.
This is Glenn Irwin on his SS Kawasaki at Melbourne Hairpin in the first non-SBK session of the day. He's made of sterner stuff that those so-called 'super bikers', obviously.
 Jordan 'Jordi' Gilbert of the very friendly and accommodating 
Haribo Starmix team and his STK 600 class Triumph. 
Telling Darren Dixon, much to the amusement of his mates, that 'we remember you!'................
........and then taking his photo. He could ride solos and sidecars and everything!
Auditioning for a part in Star Wars?
Brendan Brown and his Triumph.
John Hopkins and Josh Waters posing for an official shot (being taken by a proper photographer).
Vicky has booked 8 days of annual leave around her birthday, so is here legitimately, but how many other folk in this shot of the lunchtime Pit Lane Walk have thought 'stuff work, I'm off to Donington Park for the day'?
We think the Coalition should commence of full investigation immediately. Root and branch!
Vicky's excellent shot of Craner Curves and the ongoing building works constructing some sort of modification to the Infield which was, consequently, out of bounds to the public today. Shame, 'cos that means we have no shots of 'bikes going left to right (such considerations are important you know).
That Carol's taken the p*ss, Vic. She said it would be 16 degrees and hazy sunshine at best. I'm wearing too many layers, it's at least 22 degrees, it's hot and sunny, there's no breeze and there's dust from the Sahara blowin' around all over the place. April 1st, you say? Aha! Carol was playing an April Fools joke, obviously. Well she got us good and proper.
Vicky lines up another one at Craners.
Looking at me, Punk?
And finally.
Dunno what's going on here but, surely, it shouldn't be allowed in a public place?
