Моторно-спортивное наследие
[ редактировать ]Угол Баллагари (или Банк Вязов) [ 4 ] Секция A1 Douglas to Peel Road была частью короткого курса Highland (40,38 мили) с 1906 года. [ 5 ] А также 37,50 -мильный четырехдюймовый курс , используемый для автомобильных гонок, в том числе гонки RAC Tourist Trophy Car, проходившие между 1905 и 1922 годами. [ 6 ]
In 1911, the Four Inch Course was first used by the Auto-Cycling Union for the Isle of Man TT motorcycle races. [ 7 ] Это включало в угол Ballagarey [ 8 ] and Crosby village sections and the course later became known as the 37.73 mile Isle of Man TT Mountain Course which has been used since 1911 for the Isle of Man TT Races and from 1923 for the Manx Grand Prix races.[9]
It was the setting for a spectacular crash in 2010 when Guy Martin's race bike crashed at high speed, with a full tank of fuel after a pit stop just minutes earlier, exploding into a fireball a day after a fatal racing accident involving New Zealand rider Paul Dobbs at the same location.[10][11] Keith Amor, closely following Martin, had to ride through the immediate aftermath, having been alerted by seeing smoke and trackside marshals running. Martin escaped serious injury, and after being helicopter-airlifted, recovered in hospital from bruising to both lungs and minor fractures to his upper spine.[12][10][13]
Due to the high-speeds attained through Ballagarey during motorcycle competition, it has become known as Ballascarey.[14][13][15] Eight riders died at the Ballagarey Corner, most recently Mark Purslow[16] in 2022 and Gary Vines[17] in 2023.
