THE COURSE. HE total length of the T.T. course—known as the Ards Circuit—is 13 2/3 miles, and except that it contains no T really severe hill, it embodies in its three "legs" almost all the attributes of the ideal course for a road race . It includes corners of all descriptions, easy bends that can be taken very nearly "all out," more acute bends calling for a slackening of speed, followed by rapid acceleration, and right angle turns, hairpins and the like, demanding efficient brakes and a frequent use of the gear box . It also includes a two mile straight where every ounce of speed can be employed, and plenty of open stretches to facilitate passing. THE THREE LEGS. In shape, the course is a triangle with the three small towns of Dundonald, Newtownards and Comber at the corners . The start, where the R .A .C . Grand Stand, Scoring Boards and Replenishing Depots are situated, is on the main Belfast-Newtownards Road, about five and a half miles from the centre of Belfast, and less than -t- %o miles from the tramway terminus at Dundonald . This top leg of the course running from Dundonald to Newtownards is a broad main road permitting of very high speeds . About half-way along it is the famous Mill or Quarry Corner, a very sharp left hand bend, followed immediately by Bradshaw's Brae, a winding hill just under a mile in length, including the ascent and descent . From the foot of the hill the course runs almost dead straight into Newtownards, and then dives sharp right between the Town Hall and a block of shops into the Market Square. The second leg leads out of Newtownards Square through a narrow street past the Police Barracks to the long two mile straight where the cars will attain their maximum speeds . The short section from the end of this straight into Comber is one of the most difficult stretches of the circuit, including as it does the awkward corner at the Moate, the Railway Cross- ing, and the difficult left hand bend past the Cemetery. The third leg commences with another fierce right hand 9 Newtownards-Comber Straight.
