BSB Thruxton...Spoilers duh!!!!

[y2blade]

Awesome track, my favourite to ride around.



Originally built in 1940 as RAF Thruxton, a World War II airfield and home to both the RAF and USAF, the site was used for troop-carrying aircraft and gliders during the D-Day landings.

In 1946 it was decommissioned and from 1950 it was used for motorsport. Motorcycling was the first sport to be staged there, with four-wheeled racing commencing from 1952.

Thruxton is one of the fastest circuits on the British Superbike Championship calendar and one which has hosted events as varied as World Endurance motorcycles, European F2 cars and trucks.

The demands of the circuit range from the long, fast straights and flowing corners to tight, demanding Complex and Chicane sections.

Never ridden the track despite being fairly local.

I'm guessing it's the blue bit on the map? What's the red circle about?

That race was fantastic. O'Halloran was properly sideways in the last few laps!

Top ride by Adam Jenkinson too. First time on the bike and to get 5th is very impressive.

1m 16.3 lap on treaded tyres on an essentially stock bike is surely embarrassing for people like stuart Easton doing mid 17's on a full blown Superbike on slicks ?

I don't think Easton will have that ride much longer...............

Pretty damn epic from O'Halloran, he has a set
