What is the club hairpin called ?

And how did Gooseneck, Charlies and Mansfield get their names ?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Didn't know the hairpin had a name, but it's not really a hairpin
Charlies is named after one of the original circuit owners sons, the other son was Chris

Good going.

[Yorick]

Is Mansfield the name of the guy who started the circuit?

Close enough.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I always thought the Gooseneck was called that because it's shaped like a Goose's neck, but I don't know this for certain.

[Yorick]

Look at the cover on this ancient program and you'll see the Gooseneck shape. And the 'Beak' hairpin

I thought the owner had 2 sons named Beak and Gooseneck.
I may be wrong on that though.

Let's test your racing and track knowledge.

No points for the rider. But a prize for the circuit. The younger members won't get it. If you know, say you do, but don't let the answer slip yet
