The London Masters
Just to tell everyone I have just returned from Excel doing a reccy.
This is fabulous venue and a real show case for our sport. The track will be exceptionally quick mostly flat 4/5th gear. The loose should be very fast to well graded and very fine so should hold together well. I was suprised how big the site is. The straights will be as long as anything in England. Overlooked by the Sunborn yacht and other hotels. This is a real show case for our sport. I hope to see everyone there!! |

Thanks for the update Mark.
Really looking forward to the event. As you say, this should be really good for the sport. |

"I hope to see everyone there!!"
Does anyone actually know where "everyone" goes?? Is it like a normal circuit, standing trackside, or do we all get put in grandstands?? Just wondering. |

Mark - sounds good - thanks for shedding some light on the viewing situation. Was hoping there would be some choice rather than all being herded into a single stand - and it sounds pretty good from what you say.
Might well book me tickets now..... |

Is this track just gonna be used for the ExCeL shows or are there opportunities for us to run events there in the coming seasons?

Does anyone know if we are going to be allowed into the pits as at other rallycross meetings?
Just want to look up a few people who I know are competing. |

Is there a circuit diagram online anywhere yet that shows the layout? Also is access to the paddock as open as a 'normal' rallycross meeting?

The best I can find at the moment is HERE
I'm not sure if the public are allowed into the underground paddock. The HSE rules & regs are very strict. That is why we are not allowed to refuel in the paddock, there is a special area for refueling outside. |

Yes I know, but my computer crashed and I lost my e-mails so I will have to wait for the hard copies.

Looks good - it's a short run from the start onto the loose that final turn on the loose could be interesting - you won't want to be going wide there with a concrete barrier on the outside! Looking at that I guess the paddock is out of bounds for spectators
