It is a symmetrical oval circuit with an (AFAIK) unconfirmed layout? Or has that already been sent out with driver info packs?

I don't think there's really anywhere at norfolk for any "big" entry.

you could do it but it would sacrifice so much room you wouldnt have much else.

G-Man · 10-05-2008, 10:21

I think a big 3rd/4th gear right-hand entry on the road in, over the gravel carpark [change of surface would be a challenge], in via the narrow pitgates [deductions for straightening up here], onto the track and then follow the usual layout

Shame space is limited at norfolk as it has the best infastructure of any uk drift venue.

poor pit facilities, a surface with no grip whatsoever until all the dust is cleared off and potholes

for the record i love norfolk and its my favorite skid venue

MJG · 10-05-2008, 21:47

It's alright with Simon doing his patented "pointless 1st gear burnout" demonstration there won't be much dust on the track lol.

Ladies and gents

The pit area has been graded over the winter period so you will see a massive improvement.

There is minimum grip until the surface has been used, with 57 competing cars this is not an issue.

There are no potholes on the track what so ever, the only holes in the surface are drainage grates which are never used within the track layout.

Norfolk arena is one of ,if no the best venues for drivers to show there skills up front and close to an audience wether they be at the fence, sat in grandstands or stood in covered terracing the spectical is awesome! There is a licenced bar and good food facilities, we have the use of a digital score board for showing the spectators and drivers the scores.

The venue welcomes the BDC with open arms and we as the BDC is looking forward to visiting the venue.

As we have posted on another thread, full details will be announced very soon.

Many thanks

The BDC team.

Baba · 11-05-2008, 22:16

Yeah I enjoy Norfolk a lot! Also from a spectators point of view its brilliant.

My wife came to watch last year and she was impressed. She had a nice seated area to sit down and watch in comfort with scores on the display and PROPER PA system and lighting. Not to mention the facilities

Kerbsty · 15-05-2008, 14:03

Yes from a spectator point of view last year at Norfolk was awesome and curious to know what it drives like as i have heard it is very slippery and dusty.
Fingers crossed it will be suited well to the mighty starle and myself
