Does anyone like the new sponsored names or prefer the old ones.. who still refers ot the old names: Brabham straight - doesn't seem to get called anything anymore.. Clarkes (still there thank goodness) John 'Duffus Dip' vs. SeatCurves Taylor's vs. Real Radio Butchers vs. Glenvargil vs. John Weir (what was the old name?) Railway vs. Daewoo original name for the hairpin (just hairpin before Taylor's?)  |

Clark's is now called Carlube! Don't get me started!
Its so amusing to see ignorant people call "Duffus" "duffers dip!"
Chicane was just called chicane since I've known it.
I will never conform to the new sponsors names, it'll always be Duffus, Clarks, the hairpin and the main straight to me! The circuit management have done well to get the entire place sponsored etc but I feel the renaming of corners is a step too far for my liking.

Not a fan of the new names myself, I can see that the income is needed, and do try to use the current names on reports etc on the website, but to me the original names are the ones that feel "right" in my head. It'll always be Duffus, McIntyre etc in my mind - the only "new" name that I'm totally happy to adopt is Hislop, as it seems a fitting memorial to him.
