the place looks like oulton park, but the start line at most places looks very similar, year probably 87/88?
And one of my all time favourite riders, Steve Baker.

You sure its that race, there is no Roberts or sheene, and the bikes look too modern, the one on the left of the front row looks like an FZ750, and they are all monoshok rear ends with alloy swinging arms, which would put the date much later?

[Tony OW31]

The bike at the far end of the front row is a honda vf 750, I would deffo put the year at 1986.
