Here's my vid of the circuit taken some time ago, showing both ways.
looking at it I reckon the main issue with going clockwise is that someone could overcook the bottom corner approaching the hairpin, at 30 seconds into the vid, and end up coming into oncoming traffic. 
but it's no worse than curborough in that respect, and I guess we could put a couple of cones out to mark that section better.

Has there been a decision on what the additional race to the 40 Minute + 1 lap will be??

l like the idea of a sprint on the back straight or one lap tt the wrong way round.
But the "devil", sounds like the best option!!!!

I think Ian was proposing a 1 lap race the wrong way around (so the timing system could be used)

yeah sorry, 

if we want it as a shared points then a reverse 1 lap TT would be best. 

If you just want a fun race and let the points come from the main race then a Devil is possible, personally I prefer the TT option.

Given AS's comments; we need to think carefully about the tt wrong way round, due to how some bikes are set up for AC racing. He also suggest the track would be ok for the devil, no need for it to be a fun raceEvil Smile....

If it was a TT then it could be wither way round (depending on danger) but could still use the timing loop.  Need to make sure people start a couple of metres behind the line, to avoid falsely setting it off (similarly you should start the main race behind the line by a metre or two as well.

If it is a devil then presumably non points - so do what you want
