Well actually the cable rubber cover that is required when you run electric cables over ground at circuits . I have found a supplier who sells it by the metre but was unsure how much to get .any body else using this cable protector in the garages or beyond if so how many metres do you think I will need.

Yep definitely the piece of string question. I really can't say, All circuit layouts are different. So depending on when you get in the paddock you could need just a metre, the guy who parks opposite you may need 5m and so it goes on. My own feeling is several pieces at about 1.5m is better than a long piece.

Also depending on who is doing the checking some are happy if it just on walkways/where vehicles can go over it, others want it all covered

Perry - I may still have the length I used which you can have at a reduced rate. I'll take a look - can't remember if it was sold with the transporter.

I'm somewhat surprised that no one has yet chimed in with the obligatory "Twice the distance from the middle to either end" - so looks like that duty reluctantly falls to me.

Hi Perry - had a look over the weekend - think it must have gone with the transporter, sorry. You'll need about 5 metres to span the fire lane.

Busy but not racing any longer - last raced this time in 2015. Go to quite a few BTCC races supporting WSR/BMW, so get a bit of race exposure albeit from the less exciting (but far cheaper) side of the armco.
