i`l be at this one cant wait 2 will probably kill the 200 in the prosess lol

no sorry the surface aint that clever we did alter the track the best we could to miss the bad bits so if your running big 18"wheels with a really low profile tyres it might not be the place for you !

I slightly bent a wheel and finished off my control arm bushes there. Also the metal eyelets can do damage if you're not careful.
