i don't think they'll need to worry about the track surface as during the warmup it looked like it was going to blow out really badly because on the first day a few holes appeared but they never really got any worse over the rest of the meeting
most people stayed on as the track remained open after the meeting with the monday & tuesday VERY busy with drivers testing all kinds of things before the main event.
eg Hupo testing the LRP car with a regular rear end on it instead of the semi trailing arm suspension. a spy pic of mine was posted on Neo-buggy just after we got back
one thing that did happen towards the end of the open practice days was the concrete face broke up on the first big jump right in front of the rostrum which wasn't ideal
alot of people were also worried about chassis wear with a few concrete features but it wasn't a problem, the cars probably look worse after a day at Clanfield LOL
with that many good drivers going round it wont take long for a clean line to appear which will eventually blue groove & once the grip goes up so will tyre wear!
after winning the hour long main at the warmup Savoyas tyres were actualy bald (XTR Bowties) but he was still getting enough drive to clear the triple
the track drives better than it looks in the pics & is really fast & fun
just wish i was back out there
