new multi track venue at silverstone circuit

[Nick Goodall]

Is it just me or are there not any pics around of the actual site / track / venue? I've only seen "Artist impression" type pics, and can't seem to find any real ones (even on Facebook)?

[Darren Boyle]

Nick, look through the last few days news on NEO Buggy mate, they took a load of photos last week and put them up on there, looks very good tbh, just hope it lasts and producse the revenue they will require to survive.....

Plus just a little not to silverstone buggy club. After seeing the offroad track at moto arena I don't think you will loose any people as the track looks more of a show/ display track. Would be no good for racing.

Have already been over and looked, and your right.

Where is the large scale track Tony i tried looking when i went but couldnt seen anything, is it other side of the roundabout?

I'm talking about the outdoor touring car track Paul.. Next to the offroad track.. Might have been just a tarmaced area when you went.. They will have 1 8th onroad and large scales on it.. Looks very narrow to me.. But the were just marking and painting.. Might change. That's why I asked the question .

Needs to be 3m wide for nationals.

Ah yeh, it was just tarmac when i went over.

Mark are 8th/5th nitro still 3 meters?

[mark christopher]

I'm not sure but that would be 10th ic min width . I'm sure the track designers have thought bout it though. Shame If they have made an unsuitable track. Our pro has informed them and is there sat. I'm there next week

Hope pit lane is not staying as tony says.
No point in a pit lane of its quicker to have a fuel stop than do a lap.

[PaulUpton]

Just had a quick look at BRCA, minimum width for 5th scale is 4m and length of track is 250m and cars must be spaced out 5m on the grid.

Obviously that depends what rules they are running too

[Teddy truman]

i cant tell from just looking at it. but its very close to 3M at some points.. defo not 4M :/ pit lane defo looks a problem aswell. Dont know who the track designer is but they really made a mistake there.. pitlane on left

[Teddy truman]

outdoor track taking shape.

[mk2kompressor]

didt see you out there taking pics, you should of come in to say hello

i think Dez Chand had something to do with the outdoor tarmac track

[Teddy truman]

Didn't realise I was allowed to come in.. I can tomorrow if people about.. I did ring grant but he didn't answer. I'm on the circuit Monday to Friday so will have to maybe get a TC

[mk2kompressor]

im not sure if it will be just builders tomorrow, we will be back there on monday.
the simulators started going in today, full size f1 car looked sweet also a focus rally car

we got some on-board/normal video of a 1/10 going round today for RRCI and the silverstone website

"Moto-Arena is also the home of the BRCA and local model car clubs"

Is this true? Officially?

[Neil Skull]

I think a lot of things are changing very quickly but the information is not keeping up quick enough.

Its very much gonna be a lets open the doors and figure it out as we go.
It seems a lot of people have been given advice and the problem is a lot of it is not good.

Im sure there will be a lot of snagging during the first few days weeks as any new club venture can expect.

Im just looking forward to my first race on tarmac indoors
