BSB Test Day, Donington Park, Thursday, 31st March, 2016.

Melbourne Hairpin: always a good place to start the day.
It's about midday and the weather is so good it's as if we have been transported to a brand new Motorsport Facility in the Caribbean. It must be 15 degrees at least and there's not a breath of wind.
Having dressed in layers we can safely say we have got at least two too many layers on!
Nice chain flex:
Shane Bryne on the run down to The Melbourne Hairpin.
You need a high vantage point to see above the safety fencing.
Right, that's enough of taking action shots, lets have some lunch whilst the cafe is quiet and then take a wander 'round the paddock.
Vicky and a biggun.
They're getting younger and younger:
MotoStar rider Jake Archer.
Luke Hedger.
Michael Rutter.
A wheelie good time (groan).
The 600's are on track now and this is Wayne Ryan (Tsingtao Hampshire MV Agusta).
Wandered over to the infield now and no-one is unhappy that The Craner Hostility Suites have been demolished - least of all us.
600's at Hollywood.
Wagtail enjoying the view from the new infield spectator banking at Craners.
Luke Mossey exits Redgate.
Let's end with a tradition shot of the Redgate apex.
This is Ben Wilson in Gearlink Kawasaki leathers but riding a 1000cc Superstock EHA Aprilia
(you can't fool us, Ben).
Right, it's now just gone 3 and it's time to go.
Don't wanna get snarled up in any rush hour traffic on the cowin' M42.
Back at the car and Vicky's back and feet are aching. So are mine!
Hardly surprising as, apart from when we sat down in the cafe for lunch, we have been on our feet for just over 3 hours and have walked 3.75 miles.
Howard just thinks the whole thing is too funny.
Cheers Howard.
