ITV4 are showing highlights from the road racing in Imatra, Finland on both Monday and Tuesday evenings this coming week at 8pm.

Just in case anyone is interested.

Not sure if it's the same circuit, but I remember Imatra being on the GP calender in the early '80s. Freddie Spencer memorably rode into a straw bale one year.

It was memorable for the riders having to race across railway lines.
I think it's also the place where Parrish & Sheene blew up the toilet block :wtf:
