The S-Bend towards Laaghalen
During the 1926 street circuit, the course mainly consisted of gravel roads, except for the cobblestone road through Hooghalen. From the Hoofdstraat, the riders sped through the challenging S-bend heading towards Laaghalen. This combination of bends demanded great skill from the motorcyclists and provided the spectators with excitement and suspense. The S-bend in Hooghalen was therefore a popular spot to watch the race. Local contractors built grandstands here, opposite which round boards were erected to display race data.
For the residents, the annual TT was the highlight of the year. At various locations throughout the village, riders tinkered with their motorcycles. The local baker supplied the large crowds with fresh rolls. The race gave the village a tremendous boost, as local businesses enjoyed a significant surge in trade.
