I just learned that the back straight (currently named Daewoo) is to be renamed in memory of Steve Hislop for next season. A fitting tribute to a great ambasador for motorcyle racing.
|
always thought it was the railway straight, but thats a great tribute and a good idea. think it was either snetterton or oulton park they renamed a chicane in his memory.
|
That would be Hizzy's chicane at Oulton.
|
Is Hislop Straight to be the short one after the chicane, or the longer one after Clark's, I think that is currently Railway.
The one after the chicane would be apt, I saw Hissy come off big style on that straight ! Ironic that KH should name a section of track after him when he said many times he didn't like the circuit. Still good that they have done it though. |
The short one after the chicane is called Brabhams. The long back straight after clarkes curve on the way down to Taylors (the haipin) is the one I refer to. If you log on to the Knockhill web site, there's a curcuit map you can look at. I was given this info by a Knockhill instructor yesterday when I took a "Legend" out on track.

The straight used to be called railway but with sponsorship etc it became Daewoo I believe.
Everyone I know still refered to it as railway. Although Hislop is more fitting now. Ian |
and the first corner is oh my f$$k :D
