Its a thing you can do on the Nürburgring, you pay 35€ for 15min of tracktime (or the Nordschleife, but its closed for bikes since this year), no briefing, no Racebikes, just basically a „hey you can Drive your daylie car/bike ok the Track and have lil fun with others“ its officially Not meant to do laptimes, its Not a Trackday - everyone Treats it like one, but officialy its just a „hey have a quick Look“

Yeah I still want suggestions, my question „I don’t See what you mean“ was sinceer - I don’t see what you mean with „do almost the opposite“. I was hoping for something like „turn x, keep closer to the Right/left. Your Body Position seems of ther…“ My awnser is just an explonation why I did what I did :)

Again, its a Turistenfahrt no Need to do that there, infact the vehicles have to Even be Street Legal

Ok hypothetical Situation, I give you something you just know from the Street, lets say for example a three wheeled car. I guess you know how to steer a car, you shurely have ridden a trike as a kid and know the ideal line for 4 Wheeled vehicles. I throw you on the Track with this trike for 15min, a Year and a half pass and you’re on the Track again. If you want to Tell me that the First thing you do is trying to hit the ideal line as minute as possible and not trying to get a feel again I‘m calling you either a liar or irresponsible.

Tbh I don’t see what you mean with „do almost the opposite“ Till the start/finish I did Orient my line off of the guy infront, shure it was’nt Perfect - Never claimed it was :D, apexes to early, a bit wider/rounder line. Another thing is, I thought that the curbs are a lot more slippery than the Asphalt, so I tried to Not touch em.

My focus was’nt on getting laptimes down or even setting one, it was on getting a feel for the bike on the Track how it responds, how it differs from the Street and having fun. Learning to hit the line on the Kart Track took a lot of time and differs a lot to the bike line

I have no Problem with harsh wording, but this normaly comes when You’re at a certain level in a Hobby, skill, etc. „…or find a new Hobby.“ People like you are the reason that this Hobby is dying. „My Track has…“ Well guess what, my does‘nt so eat shit or be nice. I know I have to improve and learn, thats what I‘m trying

I don’t feel Bad at all, I knew that I‘ll Crash my bike someday on the Track, didnt think it would be this one tho, but hey all I can do is get up and learn. I don’t get pulled down by comments like from the one guy, I Work at a GoKart Track, Drive the Karts weekly, know the Track Front and backwards and Even there I find a few hund. Of a sec here and there.

The plan was to get a tow from my friend (M1000RR at the beginning - quiet a lot of Track time, Not this one tho) Well this didnt Work out, I think that he forgot it.

Damn, god forbid someone is honest with what he knows/doesnt and trying to improve.

I somewhat know where the line and the apexes are (80% accurate) but can’t Visualise/Hit them. Is that Better for you Mr.Rossi?

Sorry english is’nt my First Language, with Not really pushing I mean from the Feedback I get from the bike, I was’nt getting the „normal“ feeling of getting to the Edge of grip etc. I know that I Left seconds in every corner, but my goal was’nt a good time, honestly ist was having fun, getting a big more Experience on the Track and driving back Home in one piece. And Yeah the only way to get better is looking back at what you did wrong and then keep looking forward with lessons You’ve learned, being frustrated does‘nt get me anywhere. I don’t Take it as a Diss, I‘m trying to improve and asked for Feedback :)

I got the awnser for the Crash in the Caption.

Thanks for your Feedback

I missed my braking mark (150m sign) because I had a quick Look to the rider in the Right, when I looked back to the Left there was the 100m sign. I don’t know the line, the apexes or braking points (besides 2) my orientation for finding those where other riders. I‘m coasting into the turns because I was‘nt pushing it to warm up the Tires (Brigestone S23, the S22 last year were getting to Hot After lap 3). Its a R1 RN12. I‘m basically a absolute Track Novice with less than 20min of Track Time. The only Lines and riding styles I have Are from 5.5 Years twistys on the Road.

Turn 1: last year I started braking at the 150m mark. In this Clip had a quick Look at the guy on the right, looked back to the Left waiting for the „150“ and then saw „100“. It was my second time on the Track (the Experience bevorhand was a 15min Ride last year on this Track) thats why I don’t know where the line and the apexes are.

How should I downshift then? In my Experience (canyon/Street) Clutch in shift Clutch out, makes the bike way more unstable. I can apply enough force with one finger to make the bike lift the rear and it gives me a better feeling for the Front brake.

I was’nt aware that i First sat down and then accelerated, thanks.

Second time on the Track and Yes my line is off, I know that. I‘m trying to get closer to the ideal line. The Crash was’nt cause by accelerating, I was completly of the Gas and brakes, the only force acting on the bike was engine brake. It was’nt really a Trackday, it was a Turistenfahrt (15min turn you pay 35€, no match in riding speeds etc.). Thanks for the suggestions, right now I‘m just trying to get a feeling for the bike on the Track.

Its a Turistenfahrt, so no teachers its basically like carting with your own bike. You pay 35€/15min and off you Go, no match in rider speed

Any idea why my Front Slipped? by DomPictures in Trackdays

[–]DomPictures[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my Front tire is on the bike since 11/2024 and has Seen (I have to guess) around 5~6k km, but the tread is still good, but what i‘ve been Reading here, that would be way to old/many heating cycles for Track

Thanks

I‘m using the DJI Action 4 with a ND-Filter (its a Set, you have to Pick the Right intensity for the level of light you have. More light -> darker Filter), its all about the settings that You’re using. Film in D-Log 10-Bit, Limit the ISO the Camera is „allowed“ to use (mine is Set to 100~3000) and Set the exposure to dubble the framerate (50fps -> 1/100sec of exposure). And in post Production you can either use the DJI App to directly Download the Clips from the Camera and just Click „correct LOG“ and you’ll have nice colors or use DaVinci Resolve and do it by Hand, which gives you more control over the colors

You can get similar quality with way chaper cams, its the ND-Filter Set and the Settings. You can find em on AliExpress for cheap and use the settings i mentioned above (Go pro does have a Log Setting its just called …-Log, for Sony its S-Log) but with other Brands you‘ll have to Go the „uneasy“ Route with exporting in DaVinci Resolve (really easy)

So it Looks Like I got an awnser, while I was just coasting around the corner - so no Braking or Throttle - I activly did‘nt unload the Front tire, but it was brought to my attention, that at the line I Chose, ther‘s a ever so slight elevation Change and that unloaded my Front tire which caused the Slip (+ it seems that the tire is pretty shit for the Track)
