It is pure 'blue' clay - the same as Vaasa, we did LOTS of research and tested around a dozen samples and actually acquired genuine clay samples from some of the best dirt tracks around the world to compare so we made sure we had exactly the right stuff
it took a while to find in the quantity we required but we sourced it from a brickworks.. We started the project in October and hence have had very limited testing on 'dry' clay, the track works very well when damp and grip levels are excellent unlike some other samples of clay that were tested, its just a fantastic surface to drive on, take my word for it
An enormous amount of credit must go to RICHARD COATES, STEVE PIERCE and BEN JEMISON who have put many, many hours in to the project so far, with assistance from Graham Hunter and Stu Evans, the track and venue aren't finished yet but we have the full RHR team including Graham North, Jim Dixon, Shane Foot and co available now to get the venue finished off into something really special and unique which will officially open in JUNE
