RACE UPDATE - 31 March
====================
As most of us were at the conference and subsequently nursing major hangovers on Sunday, I'm proposing that we use the track that I've uploaded as the track for the night.
If anyone feels I'll have an unfair advantage I'm happy to do a new track - but following a few (about 5) practice laps, I love it... so don't want to mess with it unless we really want to.
In terms of the track...
Consider a fast 180Mph straight, with a 5th gear kink half way down, leading into on camber switch backs and open wide roads.
There's a carousel of sorts in there, a second over crest drift bend (hard not to) and some really fast sections where the racing line is aided by the cambers.
A fast car of pp 587 is going to be around the 2:40 mark to get round the track, despite it being a 4 mile circuit. Longest straight is .5 of a mile, with a big dip in it.
There are a few gotcha corners in there, requiring 2nd gear, and a couple of those are led into by fast sweeping bends, so a a well sorted car and a few practice laps are needed.
In summary, a fast flowing track that inspires hard driving, but the unwary will crash at least once in a lap.
