Excellent news that the mid-east is soon to have another venue, I have registed on the forum and had a gander through it but can't find any real info about the track, or pictures.

With the track being aimed at RallyX as well as tenth electric my concern is that will it be able to cater for both? Most rallyX tracks I know of are normaly to big and bumpy for tenth.

Are the guys from the club who have built the track RallyX's or Buggy racers?

Please tell more.........

ok slow down guys the forum has been running for 3/4 days now and the track isnt set up to cater for drivers to use yet ... once there is a usable track the post code for the site will be posted and as the guest thing with forum i will get on to that
the track is going to be fully astro terf .. and we will keep the track nice for your 1/10 buggy/trucks

Lol, plenty of space for overtaking!

Are you guys planning a fixed track or one that can be changed?

This is good news! A permanent astro track in the region! Will it be available to use outside of race days for practice or have these things not been decided yet? Cant wait to see what this is going to be like!

hi give this guy a call its all used probably very heavy and you need to collect i think. have you seen how much this stuff costs new £1500 for a 30m x 2m length so even with lorry hire etc its going to be cheap

We have 6000m coming up in High Wycombe mid Feb is this of any interest
