Signpost Corner to Grandstand

Competitor Guide with Steve Hislop

If you drive round there or try and stop for Signpost you'd be in a mess. It's best just to feather it, draw it up nicely, up the left and you're so much smoother into Signpost and then down towards Bedstead. You're actually gaining time on somebody that comes tearing round there.

You've got to watch Bedstead now with all the white lines in the road. There's a bit of a step off in the tar on the inside so you've got to stay out a bit and watch that. You can give it a bit of a squirt down towards The Nook, but then you're never really going to win a race down through the last section so it's gently through The Nook. You can squirt it a little bit towards Governor's and then just go gentle through Governor's because you've got to watch through the dip. If it's been wet or damp at all it never dries out and it can be really slippery. Even coming back up out onto Glencrutchery Road you've got to feather it because of the kick up onto Glencrutchery Road and then it's up through the gears and if you're on a flying lap get yourself ready for Bray Hill again!
