It's the first two laps of the first inters session after lunch so processional and slow - no good for lines but gives you an idea of track layout.

I thought it might be good study material for those of us not able to make it there before the race.

Enjoy :D

Cheers - least I know what it looks like now :)

Cool. Track now learned, ready to race! :lol:

last corner looks mad!

It seems to be a bunch of chicanes joined together!

Yeah - I just got the full vid - how many chicanes ? I lost count :o

There's only 2 chicaines, the second one on the vid seems to be a temporary one maybe set up for the track day(?)

That last bend onto the start/finish straight looks bloody good fun tho!

Last time I rode there (in 1998, before the chickens were put in) it felt a little off camber if memory serves me correctly.

I thought the 'old' layout was ace, but then you'd do the wholelot in top gear on a DD bike :lol:

I do agree Sir :D

Last September there were 3 chicanes with one getting added at the end of the lap to slow riders entry onto the start finish straight. The other two have been used at all bike meetings since 1999 as far as I know.

Nice track, raced there twice last year. There are a few bits that can catch you out, especially the first right hander, (not the kink in the straight) and the last right hander beofre the start finish straight. The new chicane was put there last year to slow you down for the last right hander as there is little or no run off, depending on how far along the stright you left the track. The chicane was officially designed by M. Mouse of Disneyland - it's basically a bit of tarmac put on the grass and a bollards to stop you staying on the old track, it's one at a time and the first one out has the advantage to the finish line, the guy behind has to rely on different gearing or an error from the guy in front. This means the last lap is hilarious if it's tight as nobody wants to give way on the brakes. I saw a superb accident there last year when someone did a stoppie right up to the bollards then left the bike and did a 360 over the top. Great place to watch.
