they were using the GP track on sat......McLaren was blocked off. didn’t get to walk around the whole track only to surtees corner, over pilgrims drop or bend and over the walk bridge to clearways and Clarks corner. Clearways was good to watch as the car came from straight under the bridge and then slamming on the anchors before clarks corner….

the thing i liked was that you can drive vertically all-round the circuit as the bridges are wide enough to take cars and you can park up and watch the racing, over coopers straight in your car…....brill :D.

i must admit i was a bit taken aback of how much you can do....walking freely around the paddocks chatting to the race teams and nearly getting run over by teenager kids driving in their single seat cars with no helmets was a bizarre site :) ...or maybe i just don’t get out enough :lol:

Anyway loved the place....i will have to make an effort to get on track there and scare myself to death…it certainly looks much more challenging than KH in both directions ( did like Knocky in reverse thou) and master the place, shame it’s so far away........

:thumbsup
