As far as I'm aware, you stay left instead of turning right for the new Arena Complex after Abbey, straight onto Bridge.

A big image is below (Abbey at the bottom, Hangar Straight at the top right, Stowe on the far right)

The closest map would be the Bridge gp circuit.. the only difference is at Vale where you would do the short link cutting out the sharp left turn.. If you look at google earth or google maps you will see what I mean

This is it, but they've put a wide bit of concrete across the track on the entry to Abbey so, unless you can cut across that, this layout won't be used any more:

I think the OP wants to know about the new Historic GP circuit (as do I) which will be used at meetings this year; as you say, it appears the layout you've linked to is no longer usable.

HSCC this weekend are using the existing GP layout, exactly as used at the Classic and others last year. Complete with Bridge

Bridge has never been destined to be scrapped,it should be there to enjoy for many years to come yet.

Fast sweeper I'm told...if you look on the map, its the bit that is outlined with light grey. Apparently. The HSCC guys will be able to confirm this weekend.

Abbey last week at Classic test was chicane, not the old 'historic' sweeper. Interesting finding braking point with a big expanse of new tarmac for Arena in front of you!

On the historic GP circuit Abbey uses the left and right "chicane" just prior to Bridge not the long fast left hand sweep as in the diagram above.

As Mike says, easy to miss the braking point. Twice!
