Looks like a old school racing with new bikes. Rough and ready but bloomin' good fun, wish I was there. What is this then, racing around the Aintree perimeter roads?

(Number 40 is a big lump, needs a salad or few)

Its actually part of the old Grand Prix track!! The back straight is one of the longest in the country and the IOM TT and Manx GP guys are usually seen testing their bikes here at the nearest meeting to their Manx events so they can get them up to top speed. It suffers from draconion noise laws only allowing a limited number of meetings a year and therefore they dont have the money to modernise the track. Club (the corner before the front straight in the pictures) is scary fast. The 1000cc do an average 100+mph lap here.
