its called 6 lane but im not sure if it's really got 6 lanes.
im talking abt that straight stretch on the way to nandi hills after Jakkur.
what would be the best time to do some high speed driving there? is thr lorry traffic early mornings?

Bangalore guys pls advise!
thanks,
Tom

Not as yet. They're still doing it in parts. Not to mention all stray two-wheelers on road. Beware of tractors especially. They come from nowhere.

Hi,
The best part is only in the start of the 6 lane. About 6 - 8 kms before divisions starts.... We have our races on this part of the highway.

Cheers

I understand that if u go couple of miles further down the road, ie, past he turning to nandi hills u get another 6 lane kind a road...hows that stretch?

the outer ring road is bad now too much lorry traffic...even the RTO comes thr by 5.30am...LOL

Make it early in the morn, a few mins after sunrise. Never race yor car on cold tyres, cold engine and morning dew still on the track.

I always rip at around 7.30 - 8 am.

Hey,
I heard theres a nice road closer, no traffic too!, after the jakkur aerodrome, you get a gas pump to your right, take the first right after that, i heard the road is totally straight, new asphalt and pretty much no traffic and disturbance... havent tested it out myself... hopefully this weekend.

Cheers

Hey Tom,

Looking at this discussion I was reminded that this new year night I blew the conti's petrol tank on the same stretch, its like a jigsaw puzzle till date Wide Road - Switch to oncoming lane - move back and just hope that you dont go into one of the ditches after the sign... not to mention no lighting.

Gawd I could do better on a comp game.
