I love Mallory....there I've said it...however....

Has the person that designed this ever ridden a bike?

How the heck are we going to stop for that right hander when we are doing 100 around Gerrards fully cranked over. Seems to me they have transferred the accidents at Edwinas back to Gerrards as you MAY enter Edwinas a bit slower, but not much on a big bike. Shame they had to spoil the best bit of the circuit. Hairpin looks much better safety.

My lad tested at Mallory the Wednesday before Christmas.

He's due to go back early February to test again when it re-opens.

Will let you all know how it fairs, alters lap times etc...

I went to the ACU website contact us page

I, like many others I have spoken to and many others leaving posts on message boards and forums am concerned about the changes to Gerards at Mallory Park.
Putting a tight chicane in the middle of a fast radiused bend seems to me (and others) like madness and a recipe for huge pile-up type crashes, particularly on lap one as the new chicane is only a few seconds from the start line.
I understand that this is to accommodate the professional riders of the BSB series (they may regret it) I hope that the vast majority of us who are amateur riders will not be forced to use the new chicane in our club racing.

Reminds me of a cadwell hairpin on the inside of one of the quickest bends around?

New line for Gerrards I guess

Maybe they've thought it would be a good idea to run the other way round???? then that madness would be on the end of the straight, slowing the corner speed down.....
looks like Gerards has just become the slowest corner in the country.
