Construction work began in April 1968. 2 600 000 cu.yd. of earth were moved to sculpt the necessary track features into the existing but barren landscape. At the height of the earth-moving work 51 machines on site were moving 125 000 cu.yd. of earth in a week. Many ammonites, shell like fossils around 150 million years old, were unearthed. 3 500 tons of hand laid granite blocks formed the 0,9 mile Belgian pavé circuit. 73 000 tons of aggregate, 9 000 tons of cement, went into the 5 lane high-speed circuit. 20 000 cu.yd. of hardcore, 1 450 tons of cement, 4 500 tons of aggregate and 25 000 tons of sand were used to make the mile straight. The circular steering pad required 6000 cu.yd. of hardcore, 1 300 tons of cement and 6 000 tons of aggregate Over 200 000 trees were planted including both conifers and indigenous deciduous varieties, thus providing natural greenery and attraction to a tract of land that for many years was notably lacking in such features.
