Not much new insight for those who know the road, but an okay article.  What do Brits consider to be a cloverleaf?  Not the same definition as here in North America, obviously.

Looking at the pictures they are calling a cloverleaf a turn with 180*+ of turn.

$hit, I know a girl on a Guzzi that can beat 8:27.
You can go up & watch super-motards with performance suspension/brake & race slicks do sub 8's any day of the week now.
All this will do is bring more Mo's tryin' to "beat the record"!
H3ll, these days I run it after 5pm on weekdays with the dump trucks, it's safer.

(& yes, any turn over 180° is considered a "clover leaf")
