Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

All the tracks I've been to have been clockwiise, as a result I tend to be better at right handers, although my lefts are coming on.

Are there any anticlockwise tracks out there?

Rockingham, i think

Rockingham National is clockwise, though it does have a nice series of lefts if that's what you're after!

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

You could just nip over to France and play about on their roundabouts.


I'm not really helping am I? ;)

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Yep, 'the rock' is the place for left handers 8)

Interlagos is the only anticlockwise track I know, if you can get over to Brazil

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

A bit closer would be Istanbul Park, or Imola.

Croix En Ternois in France has two 90 deg lefts very close to each other, but I can't think of and small anti-clockwise tracks.

Moto GP will visit 5 anti-clockwise circuits: Sachsenring, Istanbul, Laguna Seca, Valencia and Misano?
But Misano will actually be run in the opposite direction for safety reasons, making it 4.

Yep, done Croix and was good, just a little far from Yorkshire now!

French track days are definitely more manic than UK ones, loads of late braking, blocking moves, guys on slicks in the noveice group etc! But Croix really suits the SV.

Was more wondering about UK tracks in general!

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Rockingham (International) is the only "proper" one that I know of. I'm racking my brains and double checking on t'internet but I can't think of another.

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

I'll have to visit "The Rock" then, should it be national or international that I book into?

Cheers,

Tim

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

National is clockwise, International is anti-clockwise. Though looking at the international circuit it uses 2 of the banked corners of the outside oval - No run off here - just a concrete wall at the edge of the track :shock:

I did the national a couple of weekends ago and loved it - want to go back there soon.

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

National although clockwise, would suit the SV better and has plenty of lefts :)

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Hey Tim,

I really like Rockingham National when I did it a couple of weeks ago so I'm thinking of booking it on Sunday 10th June if you're interested

Thanks
Luke

Oliver's Mount is anti-clockwise

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Luke - Doing a triathlon on the 10th June so will have to give that one a miss.

Mogs - Oliver's Mount is pretty handy but having had a quick squizz at their website I believe that they don't do track days.

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Sorry Tim, It never crossed my mind that there would be tracks that didn't do "trackdays".

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

You can still ride on the Olivers Mount circuit as its a road - but obviously there would be other traffic on it!

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

feck that!! :D

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Its pretty tight too!

Some pics of a chap from another forum riding on it recently...

You dont need the run off.

The only banked conrer you come across on the 'trackday spec' international circuit has a nice ope chicance on the inside of it which takes you onto the pit exit road.

It really isnt that daunting and unless you're on something exceptionally quick you wont even need to back off through it=P~

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

An early morning visit to Oliver's Mount may be required ;)

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Good point Tim. I've thought it myself. It's a strange one. Funnily enough I used to have problems with right handers (ok-Luke knows I'm dead slow left or right) but I have HUGE chicken strips on the left of my tyres!

Maybe they should start doing tracks both ways. There'd effectively be double the amount of tracks we could use then!

Or you could go as slow as me and actually appear to be going round the track backwards. He he he.

:)

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

Wonder what would happen at the Mountain if they ran Cadwell backwards.

Re: Anti clockwise track anywhere?
 

They'd have someone doing a lot of trade at the bottom, with a parts dept. microfische.:mrgreen:
