    This track layout was used in the morning on the last open pit day I did and it's fantastic!

    I'm a total liar. What I posted above is the short circuit. This is the longer, better one.

    No banked corner on the national track? Shame

    Just got to add, Kieran has properly pulled it out of the bag here - we discussed a lot of different options but nearly all got booked up, not because we were slow, but because we arent bringing the kind of money that a raceday will, everything was always subject to change and in a few cases it did, late doors.

    At present we have the National circuit confirmed which doesnt include the banking but it has been suggested by Rockingham management that the International might be available, we will keep you informed. It is going to cost slightly more than previous weekenders but everything will be better to reflect that - the track, the food, the entertainment and the organisation, we still think this is going to be incredible value for all involved.

    We tried everything we could to incorporate drifting but with the choices we had it just wasnt possible, but everything else we aimed for will be happening - Id suggest people want to be booking as early as possible as this one is going to be popular

    To echo Doc's point above, hat's off to Kieran. There's been serious work done behind closed doors on this already, and there's been a lot of challenges along the way, so well done sir

    The Irish contingent will be there in force again this year, hopefully with even bigger numbers, and more nudity

    I only asked cos from Jon's google aerial view there wasn't anywhere obvious. - but then again, the view has a dual carriageway ending in a pile of sand.

    If the International can be swung then please do - you were there last time I was so know how much better that would be Doc

    You could always negotiate letting the drifters loose on the skid pan

    it's not a case of if I can swing it. there is "supposed" to be another event running at the same time as ours but on the full oval 9 those who know what that means
    will know what that means ) but they may make the international available to us at no cost but it's down to Rockingham to offer it to us rather than me doing
    anything

    guys hang on making snap decisions until I get the official db limit but from discussions it's an average DB not per car so no one should have any issues

    except ken. he always has issues
