That'll be fun. The braking point into Ushers2 will be quick. CurvaGrande will even out the tyre wear.

I wonder how often they'll use it? I've only done the other variation through Trubshaws once.

Last track day I did at Blutob they swapped circuits at dinner time on to the new layout.

Unfortunately I'd already broke my car by then so didn't get chance to have a go.

Yes, I did the Trubshaws variation last year too. Really liked it, but it was a rare occurrence to get a clear run right through that section from bunga bunga.

Was wondering about that new right hander, "Ushers 2". Potentially approaching it faster than "Ushers 1" on the original circuit? Would an over shoot there put you close to the other part of the circuit over by trubshaws?

...and there was a bank dead ahead of the new line there before, though it looks like its been photoshop re-aligned and some tarmac run off added.

Chapmans looks tight.

Less straights are good for me. Should be able to give some of the car engine cars a run for their money .... Not naming names laptoprob lol

One worry is ushers though. If you missed that corner before you could go straight on. Now you hit on coming traffic ouch ouch ouch.

Plus that corner gets water logged I hope that's sorted now...

Ah. I was at the circuit recently, and I see there's a bit of a tyre wall been placed at that spot. (Didn't notice it on the day)

I suspect the alignment isn't asclose as it appears from that angleperspective and the distance between the two sections is pretty large. I've missed Ushers1 and never gone even 1/2 that distance.

Yes, you're probably right. Looking at vids from the day, it looks like there's a new gravel trap where that dark run off bit is on the circuit photo.

i wonder why they are charging more for the new circuit on sunday, than they are the original circuit on saturday? i would have thought advertising it this close to the event they would need to drop the price to attract more people to book?

I like the look of it a LOT!! The old circuit was great and our V6 MR2 did well round there but could be out dragged by the really high powered cars on the 2 back straights. The new layout should play into the hands of the more nimble lower powered cars although they might find themselves stuck behind the straight line heroes through the whole section.
