Nick Padley should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
It's a great little track, but just needs a few modifications. Because it's been built in a completly bulldozed area, there are no trees or anything like that, compared with Oulton.
But in time it will be even better.

Well, I will post my opinion of it from s driver's perspective, because I've raced there. When you first go around the circuit, it does appear to be a bit 'Mickey Mouse' - there's one of each type of corner. There's hairpins, medium corners, and fast sweeping corners, plus a few hills and dips. It all looks like it's been put together by a comittee.

However, having said that, it grows on you. It's not all 'stop-start' as some people describe it - if you get into a rhythm it can be very rewarding. When I last drove on it, the surface was very new and green - so was quite slippery around the hairpins especially, but it will improve with age. I'm revisiting it in April I think, so I'll let you know if it's any better.

I do think it has a place among the UK tracks. They just need to make the overall 'package' a little better for club and national meets.

In theory if it has every type of corner, as Chris mentioned, it should make it a good 'neutral' track, when in multi-machine series, one will not have an advantage over another!

Yes, you're right Andy. That's a good point.

Remember the circuit is less than a year old and has better facilities than most other circuitsin the uk.

The track and the facilities will improve as time goes on.

Honestly where would you prefer to attend a race Pembrey with zero facilities or Rockingham?

Takuma you should ask the drivers that. It would be interesting to see what they say.
