this is very cool, been watching this almost daily for a week now, doing this track for the first time next weekend and i'm kinda nervous. luckily i stress way too much about lines and track-knowledge beforehand so i'll probably know exactly how the track flows before my first lap.
how did it go? i am going in August so i have loads of time to prepare but i am always interested to hear about people's experiences, especially first time on the track experiences
@@patrickspapens5497 quite well, i did a 1.17.3, went once again last monday but due to weather and bad sleep i did not improve. Next month i have a 2 day trackday there so hopefully i'll get into a high 1.15.
Maybe for the first time the cones are useful. From there on it it best to find other reference points for the cones are movable and may not always be in the correct spot. Apart from that keep in mind that halve of the lines shown here are absolutely incorrect.
How do you mean?? Please explain, I'm truly interested in this 😀. I run 1,14's and also the faster guys I saw follow these lines. Theres also a difference between a liter bike vs 600cc vs 300cc bike. Also a difference in driving style per rider, you see that even in GP, WSBK, BSB... There is no ONE good line, but there is definately a general/average best line. Call it the basics. If you know that, you can develop your own style
@@lillnemo1 Yes, there is multiple good lines, mostly depending if you can execute them well. In general the lines here use to much space. It is a stop and go track, most corners are 180 degrees meaning that making extra meters costs lots of time. So most important corner is the mertens corner, best to not use more than halve the track there and straighten the bike before the apax and then accelerate hard. In the example here the speed is very high and you are right next to the gravel there meaning that if you make the slightest mistake you crash instead of going a meter wide. Not a very whise line to take aespecially not in a video called textbook lines. Unlikely that quick riders take that (risky) line.

Good to see how it's done. I've never done a track day. Not too many around where I live so this is instructive.
Glad to hear that, hope you get to do a track day mate.
@@CodeNameABK me too. I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for an opportunity.

@@HowlerBikeVlogs those are some good lap times! Wishing you all the best on your next try!
Oh nice of those cones, still on full speed and living in the moment it's easy to forget it =)
Yes indeed, but you can still see it in your peripheral vision and acts as guidance :)
That growl of the s1000rr😍
😊😊

The lines I use in general (but not yet ideal probably): ruclips.net/video/DZWzy0aqRF0/видео.html
Not the fastest line, but a fast one and easier to ride than the fastest. I guess you can still do around 1:10 with this line or even slightly faster.
What gps cam do you use?☺️
nice!!
Thank you sirjee!
Well done :)
Of all the days to rain.........!!!!!!!!
Yea dave, but then again, it's Belgium :)
to be honest, the line is not what you ride anymore with a 1000ccm, a lot of the parts you take differently
