The buses I find OK, they`re big and keep out of the way, whats annoying about the bikes is they all think they`re quick down the straights and up through the forest but then brake so hard for the bends and refuse to move off the racing line that they ruin your lap. I understand that everyone wants to have as much fun as possible and its annoying having to move off the racing line but I think it would be better and much, much safer for everyone if the bikes and cars ran seperately (maybe an hour each, or something ?) I went twice this year and on both occasions there were biker fatalities. 
Don`t get me wrong bikes can be great in the right hands and watching the one or two truly skilled riders keeping up with the Zakspeed vipers is awesome but I find most of the riding there terrifying. |
Some commitment there with those times.
Have to agree with you about the speed in the corners and the idea about separating cars and bikes. I think after riding around the circuit, keeping the cars and bikes apart would probably benefit both camps.
(Personally, I spent most of the laps on the right hand side of the course, and as I said at least two eyes on the mirrors.)
