We run the course in CW direction. Not sure if that's how it's meant to be. Joe, you used to race on that track in the past - do you remember which direction it run? Were the corners named previously?

Most Australian circuits run clockwise because the spectator parking is on the outside of pit lane. Phillip Island and Eastern Creek are counter-clockwise. It just depends if someone gets spat off on a particular turn, will they run into traffic on a different turn?

I wondered about that.
My logical reasoning is it's best to start with two big straights, quickly separates the packs.

I recommend clockwise with start at beginning of longest straightaway. . Diagonal opposite to t3sla layout. . Primarily cos that makes corner 1 the highest aproach speed and there is less Shit in the way compared to others (fences etc) on overshoot. Previous mini races were just me and a mate being hoons.. but we did go cw for em... seemed a more natural direction at the time. .

LOL, I did make that knob association too :lol:Samd said:
If we're going to go down this line why not make 6 'The arse crack' - which is another take/ verification of your tight passage. Alternatively 'the bung hole' seems fitting too.
The centre shape also kind of looks like a boot, in which case you could call 7 "the laces"
Other naming rights could go to racers who have a big stack or otherwise do something memorable at that spot - like Gambon corner on topgear.
The thought of commentary to such a race to a global audience is rather amusing.
I really need to get my quadcopter sorted - locking it in a hover about 10m up would capture the whole track and make for some great footage!

Thanks for the feedback on track layout, yes CCW with the start line as joe stated seems like a better route.
Saying that we can judge after given it a few laps on a cleanupday
I'd call
6. The badlands
Mother of god.
Cuts back to a white tent on the sidelines with a screen monitoring the event in real time.
Be great to get all the gps and CA data back after the race and then compile it

Be cool if someone live streamed the racing, interviews with riders etc...not difficult to set up
just need camera laptop and interwebs connection...im thinking the last might be the major issue
would need to be wireless obviously satellite net or ....

Was thinking the same, should be fine if it's in a decent 3G/4G zone.
Be impressed if there is much interest in a live stream, must be like 4 people keen on watching that live
Maybe we can have a kim Skype call
and tour you around off the laptop like a telepresence. Can do good video on my DSLR, but no external mic jack which sucks if it's windy.
Hope to get plenty of video and happy to sit out on stuff if it means ensuring it goes smoothly and is documented.
I asked for aa fluro high vis vest from work.
Was like hey I need to take care of some things and make it looks official where's the high vis gear?
*gets handed a vest*
Wait......*gets best snatched back*
Here is one without any logos
Eh, you know me well....

Good on the Brits, but lets not get off topic here...
MELBOURNE is where it's at in Oz for the upcoming number one non-mainstream semi-underground slightly-dangerous pseudo-enduro inaugural ebike meetup... FROCKFEST.
I for one will be there with bells on.
Charge up, pump up, suit up and front up, with your fellow enthusiasts, the pioneering ebikers.
Bring your ebike along for a Frockin good time!!!

It's pretty relevant to say the least.
Interested to see what the incline and distance is like and maybe some interesting bikes might be competing.
Hill climb is something that will most likely be added in the future, it's a great test.
Maybe a mt.dandenong motor cook off.
Heh, yep going up some long steep Mt Dandenong fire trails could cook a motor perhaps. I remember years ago riding some fire trails on non-ebike mountain bike, and all was fine going in one direction mostly downhill, and to complete the circuit and get back to where we'd parked the car it was impossibly steep to ride, just one long slow push up a loose dirt track. Funny how the old Melways map had the fire trails marked on there but we had no idea of elevation!t3sla said:
