Its' a good venue, with a nice rostrum. The grass track is normally large and tends to flow well with a good selection of natural undulations making for fast and close racing.

Sounds like a nice track and the videos look great too.

Decided to miss this one and will likely go to the next one early June as need to prep for a trip to Paris on Monday.

Busted! This is my update schedule, off to Qatar in the middle-east on Monday but would love to take the buggy, but not on sand. That would bugger the motor I would think. They certainly don't have grass out there as it never rains, probably loads of dirt tracks though.
