Who's going tomorrow? I'm trying to find someone Youtube of onboard footage as they call this the "new Stowe" but not found much yet.

Really looking forward to it. smile

Hey,

I did the new Stowe about a month ago, it flows better than it used to and is a fun little circuit but it is still a very short and busy place that's hard on cars with lots of hard stops and not much high speed stuff to get air through the car.

Perfect for Lotus and Caterhams though!

See you there!

Yep, circuit does look very tight and twisty - but as you say, perfect for Caterfields/Elixes.

Has it been changed since its first day?

The layout has been changed a bit a part of the whole Silverstone overhaul and new pits and buildings put up. It now flows a little better and has real facilities instead of sheds!

I meant changed since the NEW one opened this Feb/March (whenever it was)?

Just got back from the day. Interesting circuit, some challenging bits to get just right. I was there in the orange R500 with the black stripes, managed to crack the numberplate by braking too late on the back straight. Pretty much got away with it though to be honest!
