Mallory 2011 Track Layout

[Ashy]

As you all now know we have booked Mallory Park for ND 2011

As this will be the 3rd time we have been to this venue Mallory have offered us a few options to mix things up a bit in terms of track Layout.

You will see the track layout below which shows a number of extra corners that can be added.



The bus stop is purely for bikes so that one is out but the other two are possible.

So the options are:

Leave it as it was in the previous 2 years i.e the normal track.
Normal Track Plus Charlies & Stapletons.
Normal Track Plus Edwinas.
Normal Track plus Charlies & Stapletons AND Edwinas.

You can select more than one option if you like, say you weren't bothered which chicane was added but wanted at least one you could select both.

We dont want to change the layout once its fixed becasue it could be dangerous if you went out in the morning on the normal track and then suddenly a new corner appeared in your second session.

Mallory don't need this information until 2 weeks before the event so I will let this run until Friday the 20th of May.

Please try to keep this thread on topic.

Regards
Ashy.

Brilliant idea, I don't mind which option we go for but it would be great to add in corners to change the track from what we are used to.

[phase i 16 v turbo]

What about going the other way round?

[D4WNO]

The pit lane then wouldn't work properly if we did it back to front

[Brizza]

What about going the other way round?

ermmm.....

[phase i 16 v turbo]

ermmm.....

Would mix things up

[Brizza]

Would mix things up

I believe someone actually did this this year....

[Mart]

So would adding Charlies & Stapletons and Edwinas into the mix

Adding those gets my vote, as that'll help turn it from a boring oval'esque track into something a bit more technical

Normal Track plus Charlies & Stapletons AND Edwinas.

More corners the better for me

[SP33DY]

I've voted for options 2,3 and 4 whilst the basic circuit really does suit the point and squirt style of my car I think the added corners should liven things up a bit, obviously it could swing massively in the other direction as your effectively reducing the overtaking opportunities

[c7borg]

are slicks allowed?

[clee]

Overtaking is with permission only anyway so makes little difference

[clee]

Slicks only allowed if a cage is fitted

[c7borg]

Do you have to ask to overtake before you go out?

[D4WNO]

Do you have to ask to overtake before you go out?

Lol no, you'll learn about how it works in the track briefing

[car.crash]

cracking idea, all 3 for me.

[clee]

Do you have to ask to overtake before you go out?

You have to ask at the shop and give me a fiver for an overtaking wristband
Lots of new RULES this year

[c7borg]

Oh okay.. take it from the santa pod event you couldn't refund 2 years ago

Looking forward to seeing the rules..sound interesting

[clee]

and I thought I could bear a grudge I just work here innit

[Robbo]

all three for me

[Ashy]

The pit lane then wouldn't work properly if we did it back to front

Nore would the crash barriers...

[Ashy]

Adding those gets my vote, as that'll help turn it from a boring oval'esque track into something a bit more technical

We are here to make you happy, as you well know Mart

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

i say all three and the pit lane and car park...is that possible....

[c7borg]

and I thought I could bear a grudge I just work here innit

[Lomo]

""We dont want to change the layout once its fixed becasue it could be dangerous if you went out in the morning on the normal track and then suddenly a new corner appeared in your second session.""

Whats wrong with both...? Cant see it being that dangerous Ashy..it would certainly give people more for their money..

New layout and old layout?

I say this for those who might be using this track for the first time as it really is a good track for those track virgins out there... Have it the usual layout in the morning and then for the afternoon session see if Mallory could possibly change it to the above suggestion during the lunch break?

Just a thought..

[clee]

See Ashy's first post

[JRP]

[Lomo]

the powers of edit...

[clee]

the powers of edit...

...are no match for powers of Admin muhahahahahahaha !!

[philg]

I would agree more corners the better for me, it looks a fast circuit with alot of straight, mix it up a bit. Got to give the little c1js some sort of fighting chance

[Lomo]

...are no match for powers of Admin muhahahahahahaha !!

I wouldnt say that around these parts...



Sorry Ashy...

Ahhh iam not going crazy.. it wernt a dig just made me sratch my sack and head trying to figure it out..

[Spooky]

I reckon the 'Bus Stop' would be a good inclusion after last years slight incident

[rat1]

blasting down a straight should be left to the pod,track is about corners so more the better.so charlles&stapletons and edwinas for me

ps have we got the dates for pod yet

[Ashy]

ps have we got the dates for pod yet

July the 1st, see HERE

[Alex]

I've never driven this track but it looks........ well......... boring to me! In my opinion I'd say add the extra corners/chicanes

[Alastair]

I say add both, looks much better with more corners!

[rat1]

July the 1st, see HERE

thanks got it just need to book time off work now

[Nick k]

Lol no, you'll learn about how it works in the track briefing

Track very brief - ing.

Last years briefing was " You have been here before so you all know what to do"

" lunch is at 12.30pm"

" only overtake on the left"

" Here's the flag board that shows you what is what"

half the flags they were using were'nt on there!!

" See you all later then, bye"

The red flag was the one i remember

[D4WNO]

That was one of my points on the list this year to make sure was sorted, have been discussing it in the CM section
