The final track surface for the completely redeveloped Anglesey circuit will be laid over the next 10 days as work continues on schedule for the opening race meeting on 26/27 May.
Contractors will start laying the final 'wearing course' on 8 May and will take between four and six days to complete the work. The new circuit will feature a 12-metre wide track and the owners promise a surface ‘at least the equal’ of leading UK venues.
"When that is done, aside from painting white lines, the circuit will be operational", says circuit operations director Richard Peacock.
The laying of the final surface fits well into the schedule ahead of the opening race meeting when the BRSCC runs a two-day meeting on the 1.55-mile coastal circuit on 26/27 May. The circuit licence will allow 32 cars to start on the spectacular coastal circuit, one of four track variations now available.
Ahead of that race meeting will be two days of general testing on the coastal circuit. Anyone wishing to book for testing on Thursday 24 May or Friday 25 May, should call the circuit office on 01407 840253 or download a booking form at www.angleseycircuit.com. Testing must be paid for by 18 May.
