I feel the Need, the Need for - ACT Insanity v2.0!

So 20 laps @ 1:04=21:20. Say stop every 4th lap for break and fuel adds 1:30 (3 stops, the last is for resus). That's 22:50. The longest SS1600 I've done was about 19.5 hours, so it's obviously a tough one, with all the traffic light stops etc.

Stopping every 4 laps would mean you'd make 4 stops.

After laps 4, 8, 12, 16.

I'd have to stop every 3 laps for fuel on my bike anyway so I'd make 6 stops.

This is a tough one alright, but also an opportunity to hone ones ride strategy and efficiency.

Yes, none of us takes 30 minutes to refuel. So allowing for socialising/food at a few of the stops, you can knock a bit off that (and yes, silly me, it's 4 stops), although I can get 500 kays from a tank, so would only need 3 stops for fuel plus the last stop.

Well mate, that leaves you plenty of time to be our official photographer as well as participating in the ride

Don’t forget you’re having to pull in for lap scoring each lap as well.

Nah, surely that can be done on the fly! Do they have to pull in for lap counts at Phillip Island or Bathurst?

Hey Biggles, hopefully you won't be doing P.I./Bathurst speeds....
It is an interesting challenge........

Check the rules unless they have changed.

You can count me in!

Yerp.

 

[Biggles]

Subject to Covid rules, which don't look all that promising. Can we move it to Queensland? Oh that's right- it's all about a circular city.

 

[Grey Gentry]

Still interested. Participant or official? Depends when.

 

[Skidoo]

Absolutely

 

[Olaf Moon]

yes, as is Martin I believe/. However, we were waiting until we can get people from QLD and SA here in ACT, without any restrictions. That is pre-Winter 2022.

 

[thommo]

sure am keen

 

[Grey Gentry]

I have one caveat. I'm doing a 4 week tour to Cairns shortly after the election, if the borders are open. It's been postponed from August. I may or may not be able to include this event, depends on the timing.
