the resurfacing is complete now too! Its quite exciting to see the nice smooth new surface down. I imagine it will offer alot more grip than the old surface And it will be nice not to have to worry about bottoming out over all those bumps.

Can't wait to drive it to see what the changes are like. Wider run onto the front straight (and to a lesser extent the wider kink) will equal higher top speeds! I'm not a fan of the bus-stop idea for cars because it takes away one of the best high speed corners around, and will mean you'll hardly need to brake for Hungry at all. Totally ruins the back half of the track. But if its only for the street car sprints I guess its understandable. As long as the race cars get to use the proper race track its all good.

I have a friend who is a road engineer and he has big doubts about that tunnel's effects on the track surface. He said it can be done but its very difficult to compact the roadbase properly right up to the edge of the concrete, which over time results in a subsidance and a fairly big bump... here's hoping they got it right!

There's a TopGear Supersprint and race weekend at Lakeside the week before Superlap. I'm very tempted to do that with the Sileighty instead and take the Supra down to Superlap... very tempted!
