Was riding Eastern Creek last year for a full day in 36 degrees, full leathers. Had to wear unvented suit (long story.) Now that was proper hot. Especially afterwards, catching the train in to Marrickville...still wearing said leathers...

Been there done that... except the train ride, that'd be horrible.

Imagine what it must be like at those temps doing a full race :shock: 5-7 laps is one thing, but 30-40+

Those guys (MotoGP, SBK) are athletes of the highest order.

Nearly snorted my coffee at Porta gutta. Seems nothing changes over the years.
