I've only just started on it this evening, I'll get to adding the Hill Climbs and other disciplines in time :)

You might have seen this one before though, someone else's TT Course Map, quite a beast of a thing!

Getting a bit technical there Fanch. Remember this is for sidecar racers and half of them don't even know which way they should be going on the circuit :roll: :D

There was something along those lines a few years back, Ian - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36267&hilit=ye+olde

Feel free to add to that, or start a new one if you prefer :)

Thanks Tim, that link is brilliant, answered my question, so many circuits that have gone.
I remember Barkstone Heath well, terribly boring but cheap racing, well done Pegasus & Keith & Anita Awcock for getting the RAF to let the club use the runway.
That back straight just went on for ever. I'd only rev my Puma to 6000rpm because flat out on that straight it would have blown itself apart. We had some good dice's round the twisty bits though.
Must say though, the best bit of the weekend was in the local pub with the Beckworths & the likes of Stu Mellor & Eroll Craven amongst others. :notworthy:

I'll get back onto this soon then, seems I only scratched the surface. You know how it is, been in racing all your life and think you know about half there is to know..

Then the next day realise you know less than 1%. Something this site has taught me since it started is you can live your whole life in this and not know 10% of everything that is going on :D
