Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
Glad to see they're making a separate facility instead of extending the existing track. Never saw the point of that plan.

Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
But it is at the same location isn't it? It shares the same pits I think but cuts through the paddock campground and out to the east of conrod rejoining at the chase..

Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
That was the original plan. Current one is a separate circuit.

Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
The layout as presented is pretty fun, and has some huge elevation changes. But it's been tendered to a few design companies, who all will have their own designs.

Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
Right OK,
That does look heaps better but I can't help thinking that it's going to be a money pit though.
Every series that goes to Bathurst wants to race on the mountain don't they? Supercars surely wouldn't move or have a second round in Bathurst?

Its not for top level motorsport, it's for club racing in NSW.

No circuit is made for club racing these days! No matter what circuit you suggest, it's always a supercar track!GT VIRUS wrote:Its not for top level motorsport, it's for club racing in NSW.

Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
Would be interesting to see how the tyres will hold up.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

Re: Velocity Park - new race track at Bathurst
Same image that got released with the tender winner announcement, but still should be good. Still over 50m of elevation change rapidly, will be great.
