    What's the track layout/size/speed/etc?
    The website seems to show a slalom/manji track?!

    How many cars? (to get a good idea of how busy n how much seat time likely with only 1/2 cars at once on track.

    Yeah, it's still going ahead.

    They're just busy sorting dates atm.
    They're looking to hold 1 day every month with the first being next month sometime.

    You're best off checking their Facebook page for updates.
