I think they should be OK, for as far as I know Anglesey is not part of Mr Palmers empire

How about Brunstrom Straight after that great North Wales Chief Constable with a speed fetish?

You got done in mid-Wales, not North Wales (unless there's something you're not telling me!).

I feel strongly that corner names should be earnt...

One coner on the new iceland motopark is likely to be called 'the Willi's' after a beer guided conversation with the owners (who's names you can guess now).

start off with no names at all and just see how they develop - Melbourne - that corner where brundle flipped became known as Brundle's Runway for a bit - but is now reverted to turn 7 or whatever.

Don't rush to name corners - let them get names - so each turn tells a story -like at Brands or Silverstone (Brooklands really should be renamed Gerry's)

I know, I'm just having a dig at any Chief constable who likes speed cameras!

**Woolley** · 19 Jul 2006, 22:16 (Ref:1660343)

Perhaps Mike could name the straights?

Speed Bump.
Flash Alley.
Licence Points.

Seriously, I think Sam's got the right idea. Corners develop associations, so let them do so, such as Knickerbrook, or Gracelands and Rockingham (is it still called that?)

After a recent visit with Bikegirl, Feisty racing and HOTTRAX for a trackday, how about-

Sooz Bend (Feisty racings team manager)
Moosey Curves (Feisty racer and HOTTRAX trackday instrucor)
Red Rise (As above)
Radka Rise (Feisty racer)
Inferno Bend (the band that played on the Saturday evening of the trackday)
Feisty Straight (after the all girl motocycle racing team)

I'd like to give a big thanks to Anglesey, we had a great time!

I again suggest "Peels" - the mighty Radio 1/4 DJ did his national service at Ty Croes according to his biography

pit bull · 30 Jul 2006, 23:45 (Ref:1668387)

Sod the corners, I'd like to call the pit lane......

Or "Pit Lane" for short!

Hepatic · 31 Jul 2006, 19:39 (Ref:1669229)

who you calling short?

Bob Pearson · 1 Aug 2006, 09:32 (Ref:1669728)

As long as no-one goes for turn 1 or 2. If there is one thing that drives me mad it is TV cometators referring to corners by numbers when they have long established names. I even heard Paddock bend at Brands reffered to as turn 1 by a commentator who used to race superbikes..........sacrilege.

I can't wait till next year

Im going for the August BRSCC weekend, for the last time as the circuit is now. Great place, especially when it isn't raining, cold or windy (usually all three are comibned

). Just needs the paddock sorting out really. Sad to see it go, but if it wants BTCC and F3/GT, then it needs modernising.

Exactly what I was going to suggest graeme!

blue nose · 16 Aug 2006, 22:02 (Ref:1684592)

What or who were all the original corners named after ?

Welcome back Mr Pike.
I don't really know, but a bit of guessing gives me :-
SCHOOL, I suppose because of the racing school which is based down there.
ABBOTS {also known as Beths or Barn in some circles} No idea, but I bet there was a woman called Beth somewhere along the line.
RADAR probably to do with the wartime use of the venue, as it is the highest point and probably was used for something to do with Radar.
HAIRPIN. Now that's an easy one.
DOUGLAS. Maybe he knew Beth.
MOUNTVIEW. Snowdon ain't far

Ian Sowman · 16 Aug 2006, 22:31 (Ref:1684613)

I thought it was School that was also/previously known as Beths?

diz · 16 Aug 2006, 22:46 (Ref:1684632)

I'm not sure, you are probably correct, but it doesn't matter now as there will be a whole host of new corner names to learn.

blue nose · 17 Aug 2006, 20:39 (Ref:1685432)

Is Beth Welsh for corner .....Diz, Dooley, Peacock and Moose should all be names for the bendy bits.

Mark Mitchell · 18 Aug 2006, 16:21 (Ref:1686110)

Nice to see you back Alan!

I believe that Tim Beresford, Red Cross person, sometime marshal and former editor of Northern Outpost, has the definitive explanation.

However, if I remember correctly Beth's (School) was named after someone called Beth who crashed her car there and broke both her ankles just after the circuit was opened and Douglas after Graham Douglas CMCMA chief marshal.

Radar is after the radar point and Abbots I don't know we got interrupted by an incident before he told me.
