I thought that too initially but there's too much run off and the bridge in the background says otherwise. It's clearly Monaco.

Oliver's Mount, as already mentioned. Great track to watch bike racing, a shame the organisation that runs it are fking useless and stole our money.

Did you never get a refund Barry? Is racing still not allowed?

It is indeed Oliver Mount. I always have a little run around there whenever I'm in Scarbados. It's a wicked little track and how anyone has the balls to race a bike around it I don't know. I've been to watch many times and it's great but I'd assume there's been some problems of late from what Barry said??

Never even got a reply from Auto66 let alone a refund. It's not the £55, it's the principle.
I haven't checked up recently but the story was they failed to bring it up to safety standards, were given more time, failed to raise capital (despite taking our money?!) and subsequent events were refused a certificate. I've heard stories that one of the committee has "left" and taken some of the finances with them, but can't verify that of course. Sounds like a sh!t show either way and they'll never see my money again. I have a horrible feeling this will kill racing at Olivers Mount too, which would be a shame as its a great venue, very old school, up close and personal etc.

No real explanation, still taking punters money, cancelling everything.. tantamount to fraud IMO.

Done some work for them in the past, they were a bit shit back then so it’s no real surprise.
