Ducati Pete - start learning the Portimão track

I might go to algarve with the gf for the weekend, if this come through I'll look you up

Here are a couple of shots from the December trackday ( I didn't ride, went just to check out the track )

The straight:




The pit lane:




A fellow SD at the pit lane, didn't find the owner ( maybe he checks this topic eheh )



Turn1 full of oil:




Can anyone say: GUILTY AS CHARGE??




Turn 2 ( or 3 don't know )


Turn before the back straight




Back straight


Turn 2 seen from the begining of back straight


Lots of space at the paddock


And some other spots of the track

Joe: thanks for the comments, it's a brand new track that we were waiting for long ( in Portugal football/soccer is the priority so motorsport facilities are last thing to spend money on ). At the time of the photos it had just opened ( first event was world superbike last race of the season and the track was still getting finished http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=688nU62pe8M )

Nice MCN video of testing there:

Simon: the few parts I ordered to my ktm dealer always take at least a week to arrive ( very few on road bike to justify keeping parts in stock ) so I you need something my guess is you better hope the Adventure or other off road bike also uses for them to have in stock. But hopefully both you guys will not need anything.

Here's the local dealer info from ktm site:

The nearest to Portimão ( a very well known bike and water sports dealers):

And further away ( maybe 50/75 km's from Portimão,but with motorway connection it's pretty fast from one endo to another of Algarve )
