New Anglesey Layout

Mark Mitchell · 29 Oct 2006, 22:10 (Ref:1753081)

Has anyone heard or seen how the new circuit work is coming on?

Heard last weekend that the shortest of the circuits should be ready for about May 2007.

Don't believe everything you are told Mark.
The date for full completion of all four layouts was always May 2007. At present the contractors are four weeks ahead of schedule.

The first car meeting is a BRSCC fixture on Sat 26th / Sun 27th May, with a bike meeting on Mon 28th May.

Bring it on

Diz

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That makes my first clash of next season!

Thats the same weekend as the 2cv 24 hour! I want to go to both!

**Asp** · 30 Oct 2006, 16:21 (Ref:1753674)

Watch it yet chez, they'll move the date of the 2CVs...

To clash with A1GP

chezza · 30 Oct 2006, 20:34 (Ref:1753835)

Your certainly right there! I wouldn't know which one to pick either.

gravel_monkey · 30 Oct 2006, 22:12 (Ref:1753906)

wensleydale · 30 Oct 2006, 22:21 (Ref:1753918)

diz, any chance of some photos of the work in progress??

diz · 30 Oct 2006, 22:24 (Ref:1753922)

Sorry Wens, I'm 100 miles away and haven't been near the island since 1st Oct

Mark Mitchell · 31 Oct 2006, 07:58 (Ref:1754129)

The new marker board for "School" is already in place!

**silver bullet** · 31 Oct 2006, 20:50 (Ref:1754725)

Does anybody know if there is going to be a rallycross circuit in the new layout.

Redracer77 · 31 Oct 2006, 23:04 (Ref:1754817)

I cant wait for the first race at the new Anglesey.....maybe even the Absolute Media Trophy...

Diz do you know if they will be having pit garages yet?

Redracer77 · 31 Oct 2006, 23:06 (Ref:1754818)

I have tried to get the 750mc to have a meeting at the new track on 07 but not looking good. They are all set in there ways and like the southern tracks....

I know! But WHY?

They could run possibly the BEST car race meeting on the Island if they wanted to - and it would get the support of Marshals from areas other than the NW.

Ian Sowman · 3 Nov 2006, 09:48 (Ref:1756984)

Probably not the support of drivers though.

They don't really need to run any more race meetings, and their calendar is pretty successful as it is - so why change it?

that's not the point Ian. THey change circuits all the time. This year we had Thruxton and next year we dont so there is a good argument for giving Anglesey a go with the new layout.

Upside Down Bug · 3 Nov 2006, 13:07 (Ref:1757117)

Answer to Silver Bullet, is yes, rallycross is part of the plans, but I don't have the details yet.

Problem is the distance involved. Even Oulton suffers notoriously small grids (by 750 standards), Anglesey for most people would be an extra 90minutes away - so more drivers would shy away.
It's a great shame, if 750 were there it would be a fantastic meeting - no doubt. But, if feelings are that the grids would not be (a)sustainable (b)make a good meeting, then fair enough!

Thanks for that UDB.

I had heard from another source they wanted six events a year or they wouldn't bother. I was dissapointed when I heard that, because Anglesey is one of my favourites.

I've seen the new layout and it looks good, but I can't help feeling that they missed a trick in not extending the existing circuit rather than only using part of the pit straight, the old track was superb and full of character, just needed extending and better facilities IMO

I think the need for the new circuit was to move it further away from the houses at the hairpin, hence little of the original circuit being retained.

I am not sure that is correct Graeme although I could be wrong and I am sure Diz will put me right but one of the reasons there was a delay was because they had to buy back the houses on the entrance and this took time. So there will be know one in the houses. But I could be wrong.

Good if they have - would be a good place to stay!

gravel_monkey · 13 Nov 2006, 23:39 (Ref:1765405)

with this being further away from the houses and the closest now being circuit owned does this mean that the curfew could be lifted???? hope so, night racing at anglesey!!! that would be great!

chezza · 14 Nov 2006, 00:00 (Ref:1765410)

No that would be scary although entertaining!
