not another, alot of circuit racers hated it, known as the the concrete canyon, but I loved it, as close as we will have ever had to a nascar oval, really wanted to do a test day or track day on the oval but not allowed
Bugger thats the pick up championship that race there just a little bit buggered.....
Ive also heard heard this is hoax and they are still taking bookings for next year......

It has gone bust and changed hands several times allready

goodbye the 'rock' then

[TW71]

What a waste.

Wheres the great British soul of motor racing gone?

[Blue]

Down to the high cost of land in this country Timbo, other things make more money than motor sport does. It will get worse until you get a government in power with the balls to stop foreign investors driving up the cost of housing in the UK.

[sublimemike]

OR closing the doors and saying this country is FULL. Less immigration, less demand on housing, less need to build every where on local authorities, planning regs revert to stricter legislation. Land values drop making these purchases less viable for developers.

It's not the whole reason but successive governments have screwed this country up for 20 years selling off local authority housing etc etc.

I'll go and get my coat now.

[TW71]

Yes you are both correct. Money as usual. A lot of property developers have got rich in the last 15 years I reckon, every where there were factory's and also green fields have houses upon houses, its almost overwhelming. Governments every time

[elevensies]

i shall say it again

STREET RACING

its where people will end up, car groups finding industrial estates, country lames, anywhere people can get a rush.
overstretched police forces anyone?

oh and this isnt a ploy to replicate "street outlaws" its a distinct possibility, reading forums etc
