Some truly excellent test sites, simple layouts and lots of loose... The route is extremely compact with only a few miles between test sites, so very little road driving required.

It's going to be a really fun event.

Looking forward to this as I've had to miss it the last few years.

Will the trailer park be close to the hotel, the car park at the hotel doesn't look big enough to use as a trailer park.
