    Mallory 2011 Track Layout

    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.

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

    Re: Mallory 2011 Track Layout

    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

    Re: Mallory 2011 Track Layout

    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

    ""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..

    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

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