So we're definitely going to Anglesey for the next DTEC round in August, but which circuit will we be on - National, Coastal or International GP? Am guessing Coastal - was that the one DTEC did when the "Archbishop" was last there?

Couple of questions regards to the paddock,
Do we have garages?
Is there electric points or is it generators?
Are there any shower facilities?
Thanks Christian

Oh & i've managed to salvage the video from the second race @ Silverstone which has a few good bits on including some spins smile

Since we were last there I believe they have built a new pit complex which includes 22 garages (11 doubles). We wont know if we have garages until nearer the time. There are electric points in the paddock but it depends on where you are as to whether you can reach them. There are some showers.

There is also a good Welsh leisure center up the road too. Well....when I say leisure center, its actually a lamp post with 3 sheep tied to it wink

Its also got a bar and a cafe and there is loads of places to camp.

I would have thought so Darren, it's the prepared circuit for these type of cars running 20 plus grids,

i have booked testing for friday, long time since we were there and was in the taz so probably slightly different lap, really looking forward to this one, Anglesey is an epic place.

Don't know Darren but there's no open wheel racing at the weekend - so that may make a difference . . . obviously prefer open pit. I'll check. biggrin

Having just spoken to the circuit its unlikely (although not impossible) that it'll be open pit. Depends on numbers and car types - we'll know for sure Wednesday prior. I'm testing whatever the format, having never driven it. biggrin
