I went 90 (in pitlane) and 92-95 on raceday.
 
The corners look pretty flat, not banked as steep as I thought. Maybe an optical illusion?

Old school camera i'm guessing.
Also probably been resurfaced a few times since.

Gonna sound really cold but I'm glad this style of racing still continues despite the accidents.

RIP young man.

It breaks my heart to hear this type of news but I agree with you 100%. Competitors go into events like this and the Dakar with their eyes open - they know the dangers - yet they still find the risk is worth it. In an increasingly sanitised world, it's thrilling to see these people really laying it all on the line.

Rest easy, Daley.

It appears Anthony West had lost his ride in the Brazilian superbike championship (which he was leading).
