The CBS Sports Network has hour-long programs a couple of times a week with UK road racing. Tonight I'm watching racing from the Oliver's Mount course at Scarbourough. They squeeze three races into an hour. The first one tonight was 600cc bikes, followed by sidecar, also 600ccs, and now it's 600cc sportbikes. The first race was won by what looked like a 600cc four-cylinder Kawasaki race bike, followed by a Suzuki SV650, and then the next four were Kawasaki ER6s.
There are humps and bumps and very narrow roads with barely room for the single seaters to pass. I saw one pass in the sidecar race.
Give it a look -- it's different from closed circuit tracks, more similar to the Isle of Mann.
