    First time watching at Oulton on Monday, any advice where is best to watch that isn’t a pay extra grandstand? Is it worth lugging folding chairs about or is it not that kind of venue?

    There's a raised bank that overlooks Cascades, Lakeside, Hilltop and Hislops that's a very good spot. Here's a dropped pin....

    Exit of Druids is good, Clay Hill is good and you're next to the footbridge there to get to the outside of the track too.

    You can move between those 3 places I've just mentioned very easily. I'd try a few.

    I took a chair for the testing there last week and it was worth it, it will depend how busy it is for the racing though.

    I went with a few mates a couple of years ago and took a light picnic chair. Got called all the Old Fart names but was probably the most comfortable, especially eating the sarnies that obviously come out as soon as you arrive. Plus it's easy to carry to any location. It wasn't that crowded though.

    Any of the Forum at Oulton Park for this weekends BSB.
    I'm going on the bank holiday Monday, will be very interesting to see who does what in the first round of Superbikes.
    Anyone brave enough to give out their predicted results for all 3 of the Superbike Races?

    Im going to say Brad Ray. Danny Kent and Leon Haslam would be my side bets ;)

    Just not sure how Kyle Ryde will go on the new Panigale V4 yet :cool:

    Chances are I'll get moved up to inters and you'll get moved down from the fast group......then we got a showdown on our hands !! ;)

    Telling you now, I would have no answer to your AliExpress stick on plastic winglets in any group! 25 seconds a lap they are worth :p.

    ****SPOILER ALERT****













    Well i knew Ray and Haslam would be up there but I wasnt expecting Kyle Ryde to be this dominant in the first race on a brand new bike!!! :eek:

    Looks like Ducati have made huge steps, Bulega doing the same in Wsbk!
