Scarborough Gold Cup 2012
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2012 8:46 pm
Just back from a weekend in Scarborough watching the Gold Cup racing. Hadn't been there for nigh on twenty years and although the town has changed the track hasn't (well maybe just a wee bit). Lovely town with a great atmosphere when all the bikers are in town. The circuit at Olivers Mount is a proper road race circuit, they just shut the roads round the park for the weekend, zero run off, thousands of trees and poles to hit, proper scary! I took some photos to let you see what the place is like.
You can get close to the action
Guy Martin knee down in the grass
The back straight before the downhill hairpin
John McGuiness flat out
Aberdeen's very own Craig Shirlaw
Guy Martin at Farm Bends with Scarborough in the background
Top three in the Gold Cup race
Michael Dunlop had a go at sidecar racing
From Turriff, team Past It, Robin and Anette Daykin
The main start finish straight
600 action at the first hairpin.
The blast up the hill under the bridge
Highly recommended for something different. I won't wait twenty years to go back!
