Does anyone know the length of the circuit for races? The aerial pictures suggest that only half the course can be used, is that correct, unless barriers/cones separate?

Comments

  • Length of course is about 1 mile long, it is used in either direction, it has some tight bends and is separated by cones going into the bottom turning circle like thing. Just be careful as this track is used by cars as well at times so motor oil could be on the track, especially at the very tight turning circle! Good luck pal! very fast course in my opinion. If you are going anti clockwise direction around the course, make sure your about 3rd wheel going into the turning circle and time the sprint to perfection otherwise you will be caught out!!

    Cheers, so do you ride the whole length, including the tight turn right at the far end? Its hard to see from the aerial shot how wide it is. Just found this clip which will help, thanks very much for the advice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re3z5ttEx-A
  • Yes pal you ride the whole length, technical circuit if i'm honest. Lets hope the rain stays off for this weekend!
