New Stowe Circuit?

[johnag007]

Hello,
Received an email from Goldtrack running "new" Stowe on the 30th January. Having spent the weekend at Silverstone getting my ARDS, I know the old circuit pretty well, and there is no way I will enjoy driving my GT3 around such a small circuit.
Anyone knows the new layout and whether it is longer / wider?

The new Stowe circuit has been extended as shown in the red extensions to that circuit on the above picture (I know I have a proper circuit map somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment).

They're the ones I was trying to find

Not bad! Still quite short with tight turns for larger / more powerful cars, but should be fun!

Snot ready so we're not going.

Apparently the one on 6th of Feb will go ahead. Can't wait. Or can I...

Are there any more trackdays running on the new Silverstone Stowe circuit in 2010?

Looks like a perfect layout for a low powered Caterham!

I did a trackday yesterday on the new Stowe circuit.

Only 1.2 miles long but really good and perfectly suited to light weight cars (caterfields, elises etc).

If you get the opportunity to go then book it

Done it as well last Sat. Not bad, but not that much character either, I got bored pretty quickly. Perhaps good for someone to start trackdays. Faster than it seemed but then there were no kins at the back straight as in the picture.

Nordshleife - I remember seeing you there, it was good to see a Ferrari being driven properly on track
