Wide bends, tarmac centre open to short cut abuse by some drivers. Slick surface. Ultra fine shale leads to ice-like conditions when it rains. Formulas: F1's, F2's, bangers & Rebels Toilets: Acceptable to good. Viewing: Excellent Parking: Bags of room, but sometimes becomes a stockcar race trying to get out after the meeting. Security: Reduced profile in 2008. Track Shop: Speedway oriented but has some stockcar stuff. Food & Drink: Usual high cholesterol stuff, 2 bars and exec. boxes. Restaurant food available in main stand. Pit access: Yes Racing Quality: Consistent. Sometimes roundy roundy. Mainly a low damage track. Communication: Okay, but emphasis is put on entertaining the punters in the main grandstand leaving rest of the stadium basically listening to a bloke talking about something they can't see. Irritating points: Coventry has it's way of doing things. Poor PA on back straight and bends. WOW Factor: Large grids of cars Future: Prime site for a supermarket, but recent investments seem to say the short term future is secure |
