Its a seriously competitve sport in UK. People spend huge sums on engines and transmissions. Many classes, from box-stock sedans, to formula one engined purpose built single seaters. All take place on private roads, eg farm tracks, with one recent exception. Imagine going 125 mph on an 8' wide steeply uphill road. At Harewood(my local track), one goes between two stone built farm buildings at about 80- 90 mph prior to braking hard for the hairpin and then accelarating out onto the hill where speeds of 125 mph are regularly seen prior to braking for the double apex final 90 degree bend.All over in less than a minute for the good drivers/cars. Cars are quicker up there than the bikes, because there are so many sharp corners.
