at Oulton Park. I have great memories of swapping paint while battling with Walker, Reynolds and Hislop in the late nineties and not so good memories of falling off a lot when it rained. As with many of the tracks Troy Bayliss visited for the first time, I

Motorcycle Track Guide: Cartagena
By Niall Mackenzie on 22/07/2010 10:46:36
There are many reasons to visit one of Spain’s top circuits. The track is a 600’s dream with more twists and turns than a mountain pass
There might not be a whole lot of top level racing occurring over the year at Cartagena but this is still one of the busiest and most popular tracks in Europe. British race teams love to test here pre-season in the (usually) warm and settled weather

A Spanish track perfect for escaping the British weather, learn Almeria the Mackenzie way
. The challenging Circuito de Almeria, first opened in 2001, has become a popular testing ground for MotoGP, WSB and BSB teams mainly during the off-season. Track days take place all year round although the summer months are less popular as high temperatures make

By Niall Mackenzie on 23/07/2010 09:52:07
Revel in the delights of Anglesey, Wales’ best, and quite possibly Britain’s best track. Niall Mackenzie is happy to take you round

Motorcycle Track Guide: Jerez
By Niall Mackenzie on 21/07/2010 12:32:47
Any track hosting a Grand Prix can’t be entirely shabby. Jerez has long been a MotoGP favourite and there are good reasons why
-fast double rights behind the pits. The track is billiard table smooth, flanked with acres of run-off and to top it all you’ll most likely be basking in hot sunshine between sessions.

Motorcycle Track Guide: Portimao
By Niall Mackenzie on 22/07/2010 14:46:19
If Carlsberg did race circuits, they’d look exactly like Portimao, a flowing rollercoaster of tarmac. If you ever have the chance to go – GO
The Autodromo Internacional Algarve, near Portimao in Portugal, is unique. The high-speed rollercoaster track layout is like no other. It’s no surprise that many World Superbike racers reckon this track provides the biggest challenge of their season

Motorcycle Track Guide: Croft
By Visordown on 08/06/2012 13:00:00
It may not be on the BSB calendar for 2012, but that doesn't mean you should miss the chance to ride this demanding circuit
to the likes of Donington but the surface is grippy in both wet and dry conditions. It is a physically demanding track and also quite bumpy so a good suspension set up will certainly add to your enjoyment.Croft is a fun and rewarding to ride but being narrow

Learn the fast and undulating Thruxton circuit with Niall Mackenzie
It won't surprise to me if you've never ridden Thruxton, as trackdays are few and far between these days due to harsh noise restrictions. Race organisers have the same problem too, which is ironic as an active airfield that operates daily in the middle of the circuit.Personally I...
