Has anyone been there, the Dutch and German MG guys are having a weekend there seem like a good place to go large oval with banked curves and a race track set up in the middle , seems only for car testing tho.

Been there for a drift day - good for that but can't comment as to what it would be like for a track day as TBH I didn't take any notice of the rest of the track.

worked there for a while,

The oval is fun if you have a very fast car, the mini track is I THINK a 1/3 copy of Hockenheim
it is very strict on security they will not allow cameras and also cover your mobile phone lenses with a special tape.
Lot's of nice new press cars knocking around there.
It is about the same distance as to the Ring from the uk

This is there web site and show's the various teat tracks they have to hand, i think to drive on there Oval you have to pass a test there first . ( not 100% sure but i think so )
