The chance to drive on such an impressive track that is local has got to be worth it surely?

That really looks challenging I expect the sprint will be very heavily subscribed. Two stunning circuits on our doorstep what more could you ask for

Difficult to say from that circuit map, but I think it looks a bit, er, boring. A fair amount of wiggly bits at the top end but look at those blooming straights! Very definitely a test track rather than a race track. Maybe it's better in the flesh so to speak.

I am sure that the event will be a huge success (whatever my ill informed thoughts)

Good luck to all those taking part :thumbs:

Circuit is of a similar layout as it was Stuart.

If you think it was boring....well then....best you go have a word with yourself.

I've spoken to the head of Ride and handling there and he says its still very good, different but good...lots of late apex corners etc.

The old track was great Logan. The new layout looks to be quite different (in terms of straights) I'm sure that the guys there know what they are doing; I guess it shows how deceiving circuit maps can be.

I recon that there are a few traps waiting for the over committed or is that overzealous it will be interesting to hear what people think once they have given it the full beans under competition conditions
