mirx*8

That straight looks awesome, and if the pictures are anything to go by, some nice easy run-offs in the event of a moment of panic - or terror!! Bring it on...

RXVIII

Please add CAPA & Boxer

ILIV48

Those pictures of Broadford looks real fun. Already started counting down the days!

takahashi

According to Google earth mesurement system, the track is roughly a 2.4km track.

Is there any reference lap time?

BTW I beat Kevin in his Echo last motorkhana, I am sure he is now seaking revenge lol

auzoom

Yes, some intersting info about broadford. Its the state motorbike centre, so you can understand that the track is designed as a motorbike track. Unfortunately the safety required of a motorbike track is diferent from that of a car track. On car tracks the driver has the car as protection and so the idea is to protect people outside the car and avoid trip points (stop a car from rolling). On a bike track you have the opposite, as the rider has no real protection and the bike does a whole lot less damage than a car, the idea is to protect the rider.

Car tracks tend to have concrete walls and kitty litter, bike tracks have big wide open spaces. Unfortunately when it comes to getting a motorbike track approved by CAMS or AASA the lack of concrete walls (especially between pit lane and the track) and kitty litter means that they wont approve the track for multi car high speed events (Hill Climbs are ok).

But never fear, this is one of the reasons why we are organising this in conjunction with Kevin and Driver Dynamics.

Cheers
