This turned into more of a complete renovation rather than a simple upgrade. A new start/finish straight was made next to the shared paddock with the track going in the opposite direction to the original circuits. The track then leaves the original Donnybrooke track and joins the Competition course. This was done to allow more space for spectators and to create a safer track. The track can then go onto the 1.66mi Short circuit or go onto a new loop for the 3.75mi Full circuit. This was created to allow for a longer lap and to provide more overtaking opportunities. The track then rejoins the Donnybrooke circuit. The track is then diverted off the drag strip through a series of esses to slow the cars down. The track then runs adjacent to the drag strip towards the final turn. The last turn features more tarmac run off than the rest of the track so that it can be used as a set up area for the drag strip. However this does mean that the drag strip cannot be used when there is racing on the track.
