    I stumbled on this a wee while ago.

    I was told that NZ, ireland and IOM are the only countries in the world that have allow street racing, but then I realised that the video was from spain and some village probably doesn't care much for legalities.

    I timed a lap at about 1 minute 13 I think? that's a pretty big lap for a street circuit!

    Considering Spain has races with people chased by bulls on the streets (festival of San Fermํn), I imagine having street races won't be a problem.

    I think Lativia & the Czech republic have street racing. The former were Joey Dunlop died IIR.
    I have heard of a street racing series in Italy too but have not seen any info.

    The French have some amazing hill climb / time trial competitions. So does the UK but most of them I have seen are in the rain. There is even a genl'mun campaigning a highly modified TDM...

    Those vids make my trousers fizz. The only time 4 strokes are better than 2 strokes is first thing in the morning.

    Just been watching a few more vids from La Baneza. The left right turns through the buildings are all steep downhills, a series of Laguna Seca corkscrews as it were.

    JEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZUUUUUUUUSSSSSSS!!!!!!

    Now that is some real 125GP racing!!!!
    Clutching the fuck out of an Aprilia 125 (well it sounds more like an Aprilia than a Honda), that takes some balls.

    Highside, climb back on, balls out, then seize it, what more could you want out of a days racing eh?

    It's this month sometime!!!

    21st and 22nd actually. Tuesday and Wednesday, fancy that.
