Loads of people have gone around Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Lidd etc.

The XT will be fine. Enjoy. (get some proper tyres)

There's no off road bits in Brands Hatch, unlees you go off track and end up on the gravel. :eusa_whistle:


For those tracks with off road sections, initially if you don't feel that confident just roll over the bumps without trying anything fancy like jumps and stuff, and take corners slowly until you gain confident in your grip. In wet muddy conditions that is a totally different skill to master, having to keep the bike going into a direction despite the back wheel spinning out from behind. it's all fun. you've got to fall a ew times to get the hang of it.

But going back to Brands Hatch it's like a gentle stroll if you wish.

I think most supermoto track days are on tarmac anyway. give the people a ring that you got the trackday through and they will ok everything.

If your riding off road just take it easy for the first couple of times and dont lean over too much or brake too hard with the front.

They do dedicated supermoto trackdays and there is an off road section.

Oh well sorry dude, that shows how much little knowledge I have about Brands Hatch, been there quite a few times myself but never knew there was an off road section... wow you learn something everyday.

Whatever you do have fun on your track day and let us know how you got on.
