What IF tracks could be run in both directions?

[Milkyway]

I have enjoyed watching the TT on TV this week & in a coffee break tried to imagine it going the other way round.
My tiny brain then moved on to the BTCC tracks.
The first corner At Thruxton would be very interesting... may just have it as a fast left hander.

I must admit, that in my much younger days that this was quite enjoyable on the early TOCA PlayStation games.

Hutchinson 100 ran anti-clockwise at Brands Hatch. Knockhill still runs some club races anti-clockwise.

Configuration of safety barriers, gravel traps and run-off areas tends to be unsuitable for anti-clockwise running at most circuits.

.... Paddock must have been a bit scary.

Donington: Old hairpin, Uphill through the Craner curves into Redgate... Mmmmm.

Cadwell Park would be hysterical!

Croft...

Monaco... Maybe a Formula E race, as a challenge.

Knockhill runs both ways. However, pretty sure it's only Scottish championship level at highest and not sure they flip the direction both ways during the same race day.

Having something like the BTCC package or BSB having to negotiate both ways in the same meeting would be a spectacle for sure. A different meaning to reverse grid.

A reversed reserved grid race.
But a stand-alone reversed Knockhill round for the BTCC would be interesting.

Nurburgring... There again, probably wouldn’t make difference to the the normal layman.

Just for info, the historic 500cc cars are doing a demo (on top of their normal race) running anti-clockwise at Brands Hatch today, same direction they raced in in the early 50’s.

That would be great to see.
( I take it that they are using the Indy circuit).

NB: Great if there are any photos or links to it,

Ah , but the very best thing about 500s is their absolutely sublime smell . It should be sold as air freshener, even though it tends to have the reverse effect.

A bit like Swarfega.
