www.britishsuperbike.com/news/breaking-news-upcoming-bennetts-bsb-round-to-use-silverstone-national-circuit/At least if you do go you get to see the riders go past more often. I did a trackday on the National circuit. Due to the low numbers of riders who bothered to go, it was an open pit lane after lunch. It soon got boring compared to the fast and furious full track. So what went wrong with the track surface? Crutchlow rode around it earlier in the year and said it was fine, apart from 2 small bumps, but by the time F1 got there for their 1st practise session more bumps had appeared. Was it down to settlement under the top layer of tarmac?

I hope they remember to tell Pirelli. IIRC, the last time they switched from the full circuit to the short circuit (or vica versa) the tyres brought to the circuit for the weekend werent suitable.

Big yawn - you may as well go to Pembrey or Llandow;  |

Worst circuit I've ever been to. Touring cars use it and it's boring as shit, it's literally a one move a lap circuit - outbrake into luffield complex from wellington straight and that's it.
Thought we'd actually done with normal rounds. May as well have done as it's only between Ray, Dixon and Legs McHaslam anyway. As of yet we've not had a total travesty of a showdown but I feel it needs one to get rid of it.

Why don't you re-join the group Mekon instead of guesting? I rather enjoy your posts. |

Haslam has just had a massive highside (and I mean massive by his standards) in FP1. I hope he is ok.
There is a clip from the close circuit TV on the Bennetts British Superbike Championship FB page.

Thank was a bone cruncher for a highside. I hope that Haslam has an airbag system!?

Good shot of 'wheels in line' cornering.

Despite the mickey mouse track, some good racing in BSB. Felt sorry for Iddon putting all that effort and suffering with the pain and missing out, he was amazing riding with a bust collarbone.

Well all the action appeared to be in one spot but I suppose at least there was action.
McKenzie showing his lack of experience against bigger boys in the last laps but then again he's actually been at it long enough so staying on your open line with Halsam behind is never going to win you the race.
Not the greatest Haslam fan but he seems in a class of his own in terms of pulling racing moves now Shakey is gone.
I also wish they'd sort out the mess that is the split category races. It's getting like that shite motogp had for a while.

The short circuit made for a weekend of great races. Hope that Leon can win the championship this year, if for no other reason than to stop the commentators saying he hasn't won a championship since he was 13 and won the scooter races.
