Curborough new figure-8 layout - it's fantastic!

[heebeegeetee]

Was at Curborough sprint track yesterday for their first running of their new figure-of-8 layout, and I'm delighted to report that it's fantastic. I had my misgivings at first as I thought it made the track a bit auto-soloey, but I changed my mind through the day.

The course if really quite technical, quite a challenge to get right, but also it's fantastic for spectators who now get to see a lot more of the cars as they figure-8 their way round the top loop.

There was a big crowd there yesterday and the atmosphere was great.

I'm not suggesting for one moment that Curborough was in any need of a new lease of life - but by gum it's got it!

I think everyone who competes there will be delighted.

We run that layout now too. It's very tricky to get a consistent run, it's also a lot faster.

But I do agree, it's fantastic. A brilliant spectacle to watch also.

Excellent news, I thought it was under threat still.

Any layout drawings or photos of the new layout.

Had my first ever competitive motorsport there so glad its thriving.

Though in reality it's fine.

I see, thanks. When I first read about the figure of 8 I was hoping that a new stretch of tarmac had been laid back towards the start line and almost parallel with the first "straight", to extend the track. Oh well, can't have everything.
