Bottom post of the previous page:

Since there's not only the Suzuka 8h but also the Armoy Road Races this weekend here's a short introduction to the Armoy circuit. Also you may want to give the interactive guide above a look.

The Armoy road races kick off today from 12:30pm with practice sessions in the afternoon and the first supersport race tonight. Let's hope Radio Ulster will cover it

Sounds like the opening 600cc race at Armoy last night was some cracker. William Dunlop from Michael Dunlop with only 0.007 sec between them and Derek McGee following in third only 1.7 secs down

On this weekend from tomorrow on the iconic Imatra circuit in Finland gives its comeback at the penultimate round of the International Road Racing Championship after a demise of 30 years. Undoubtedtly, memories will go back to the untimely passing of Scottish Sidecar World Champion Jock Taylor at Imatra 34 years ago, too.

A little teaser

And finally the circuits website at http://www.imk.fi/2016/en/

I had hopes to go but work commitments kept me here. I have high hopes to visit this lovely place next year.
