Its the same as Donington, other than a handful of bike grid marks.
Well, sort of the same. The gird part of the start/finish straight has been resurfaced. Plus the entire paddock area other than the "under the trees" camping section.
The gravel tracks from the old main gate round to the paddock entrance have been asphalted. The Paddock entrance access is now the main gate with 24hr security. The old main gate is currently 7am to 7pm only.
Lots of work going on. Old toilet facilities around the circuit are being replaced. Loks like some sort of prefabricated units are favoured but the old units still stand an McLeans and the building at Coppice seems to have been demolished with two port-a-cabin style units placed there. Presumably not yet in service as they were locked today and unmarked as to preferred lifestyle orientation choice.
Much building work visible. The outer track has some huge pot holes at the moment. I did not check but was told that the tunnel form the paddock to the infield was closed today.
The Pits area Paddock fencing is gone.
The Scrutineering bay fencing is gone and the central office building with it.
Half of the blue and white walls are now red and white. Where that change has been deployed looks quite random. There is clearly a lot of work still in progress.
