looking at the picture, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say there looks like there will be a hairpin at the end of the straight, cutting straight back towards the big double.

its the only way the track seems to 'work'

the only thing that makes me think 'maybe not' is it would be a problem for the mechanics during finals, the cars would be coming back at them very early at the start of the race

Ive seen a video of the jumps being tested for profile and i can confirm they are bigger than they look in the pics!!!! All of the jumps seem to have very good profiles tho and should be easy to jump. But i reckon youll need a pokey motor anyone running a picco basic is gonna struggle i reckon.

Like a video is gonna help you prep chris....

As a wise man once said... if your gonna do the jumps, you gotta DO the jumps

He probably also said... Traction is everything

I hope we don't have a hairpin for a first corner, that'd be a bit poo

I know the big jump wouldn't work but it'd be cool to have a right left chicane going up onto the side of that tabletop and turning left into the little bombhole.

Are people really going to be doing that big double in one?! If so the shop had better have lots of RC8 chassis braces for me

That engine had better have enough grunt to do it Dave or we're having words

Track looks great. What ever Wez, Lewis, Rich n the gang build it will be ace. Jumps even last year everyone i heard of was like, 'omg, don't think i can do that jump'. Everyone cleared the 'big' jump with ease. Just floor it and jump it simples . Can't wait!

Oh and the video is on my "Insiders" iPhone ill see if i can get him to post it up

cheers

as most of my close friends know ive been like this since 2001 so its nothing new,just has various pain levels,this week typically ends up been as bad as its been (my lower 3 vertebrae are fused together as well as having spondylosis in my neck) so you just learn to put up with it.

kev,you should see the tablets i used to have to take,i used to rattle when i walked lol,but they gave me stomach ulcers as they were so strong but boy do they knock you out

i only take when i need now but feels sick as a dog on them.

all sorted just about,i have car to check over from weekend when i can get up and just the jconcepts tyres if/when they arrive

oops there goes a bit of wee...
