mikebv 10,277 Posted August 6, 2022 Some good racing so far .. It can be great this track... Maybe putting a finish line in a further 25 yards down the straight would help the racing too given the last bend often sees riders in contention to pass.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No :lol: That extra long straight to the 1st bend is what makes this work… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like this track, it rides like a circle but you do get good racing here and proves you don’t need a track to be big to get good racing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have the finish line further down the straight.. Like Wimbledon used to do.. And Edinburgh still do (?).. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the less horsepower counts, and the more talent influences races.. Everyone who watches knows that, and you as riders too obviously.. Which still baffles me why somewhere like Leicester built an "oval"..! I loved watching handicap racing on 120m tracks in the USA, 8 rider races... No race was a foregone conclusion 3 and a half laps out.. Tiny tracks, wide bends, talent counts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although it’s a bit better now Leicester was just awful to ride when it was made, it was one line into the corners at the end of a long straight which was disproportionate to the tightish bends , it just made for dreadful racing, which was baffling when they had a blank paper to start with 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
