this doesn't look promising, I would love to go but I'd say i'd shit myself out there....... :oops:

I couldn't even begin to count the number of accidents I've seen there. You'll spot a damage-only crash every few laps, and closures due to more serious accidents are everyday fare.

There was one minor crash in the 7 hours i was on the track.
My missus did a lap on her own in my car that she never drove before.
It's just a public toll road.
