Default new track opinions

opinions guys what did you all think....... I will give my opinion the track is very fast perhaps to fast I think all the little ones struggled with it as did alot of the top heat seemed to be alot of track hopping. The big jump needs moving to the beginning of the slippy stuff because its dangerous where it is and puts alot of pressure on number 8 Marshall and maybe take out the jump on the straight and set it similar to the way the mardaves are doing it.... got to be honest its the first time I have took my car off in a race because I felt the race was reckless and dangerous to prove it the A final 4 cars came off broken never seen that before

Hi buddy.

Track proved controversial, which is strange considering it was a unanimous vote. In many respects it is simpler than the last track. Yet there was a lot more crashing.

Definately a faster track. Even though it there was less turns, ended up with two broken cars. Having xaid that whilst i hit a car coming the wrong way up the straight, i should have probably braked harder as even though i heard it late there was a call from a marshall.

Not been at the club many months, but definately scrappiest top heats and a final. Might get better next week as people get used to it, but then again might not. I'm being really useful i know

Andy

I think the track can work with a few tweaks so not all bad its great for mardaves

i agree with tisher on the adjustments its what i said right at the start,the track is just too fast for the stanard of drivers, marshalling was very poor last night aswell, weather that was because they couldnt get too the cars or juist not looking i dont know,

It was pretty much chaos on track!

There was people jumping the track everywhere especially in the top heat.
There was one car in particular, a pink/blue B44.1 with a tribal design??
Don't think he actually did a whole lap!

I dont think it will take to much to make it a good track layout it just needs slowing down other wise we are going to see 10sec laps in the next couple of weeks
