Interesting that Tony Quinn probably agrees that the current track is pretty good. He also admits that no one is too keen when on longer tracks, cars are out of sight for too long, particularly so with smaller grids that have become the norm in too many classes.
I doubt I will ever race the long track (I hung up my helmet after weekend 1 of the Festival yesterday!), but the corner where the new track joins the old looks particularly tricky, but for a driving challenge and a great photographic spot, turns 2 & 3 on the current track must be amongst the best in the world.
Lots more tarseal down in the paddock areas and the new hospitality suites look superb. Race control seemed to be working well and the commentator now has a few screens to cover the parts out of sight.
Downstairs office was working well and all in all, great to see so much progress.
