Looks like xxx ?

Shush.

[Tricky]

Looks like it could be early- mid-70s (74-75) Brands to me?

[Yorick]

Easy one. Where's this?

Bridge on the River Kwai.
Or close to Tarporly.

Nada.

[KungFooBob]

Or close to Tarporly.

I thought it was the bridge at Oulton, but that's over a straight bit.

I'm guessing it's a circuit that no longer used?

You've raced there.

[KungFooBob]

You've raced there.

So it could be...

Cadwell
Oulton
Mallory
Thruxton
Three Sisters
Teeside Autodrome
Anglesey
Brands Hatch
Pembrey
Lydden
Donington
Snetterton
Castle Combe
Darley Moor

but it rules out Silverstone, Croft, Aberdare, Olivers Mount and Aintree.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Possibly Donington

[Yorick]

Imagine no bridge or earth mounds.

[Nobby]

Looking at it from a track perspective, could it be Hall bends going towards the Hairpin ?

There is some brickwork still there behind the bar next to the kids playground. I thought that was part of a building, as in Hall bends. What was the Bridge for ?

There's a big house just before the start/finish line. We used that to sign on back in the 80s.

[Yorick]

This is how I remember Hall Bends

Certainly make it a bit more exciting, I can't remember a bridge there, but I doubt if I went to Cadwell until the 90s

I remember a big tree in 1982.

If you're talking about the tree at Coppice, it was still there in 2001, advice in riders briefing "aim for the tree, tip it in when you think you've gone too far"

No. Big trees through Hall Bends.
