A link article that is probably nearer the truth than most.
Although this post shows the initial layout (but with the fourth apartment block, added later) I first saw way back, well before the plans were made public, you will note that although the track direction has been reversed and a few other detail changes, there was only ever the current pits complex on that drawing.
Later plans were published with an architects model, showing a control tower between the two sets of existing pit garages, but any plans to build permanent pits on what will become the new bottom straight, appear to be pure speculation at this stage. Access from turn 1 night be tricky...
We can safely assume that most meetings will be on the existing track, so building pits on the new longer bottom straight contradict the plans for a 'village' and other mixed residential/commercial units alongside that bottom straight.
The ex Hamilton(?) footbridge has been alongside the track between turns 1 & 2 since it was purchased, as this was going to be an access to the village area across the track.
Whether any purchaser adheres to those plans will of course be totally up to them... Until any deal is signed and sealed, we can only speculate regarding any future plans.
