WTF is up with the weather stripping going across the track....
And WTF is up with the onroad type dots on the insides of the corners?
This track is so much /facepalm,

Looks like a fun track to drive on! There's going to be a lot of good close racing on that. I'm interested to see how close the qualifying times will be.

I just have to chime in on the surface complaints...
I love buggies, especially 2wd, I love racing, and I love jumps.
F it. I'd run on clay, astro, asphalt, bricks, grass, gravel, carpet, concrete, tiles, wood... Damn it, I'd even run on poo if I had to.
What's important, is good, consistent and even grip for all racers, and good racing.
You guys don't know how lucky you are to have good clay tracks all over the place. I come from Norway, that looooong country up north were it either is snowing or raining. If it doesn't do either, it does both. We want to run clay, but we can't. Indoor tracks never survive due to heating costs, and outdoor? We just don't have the manpower to maintain it.
Now stop your whining and focus on your love of racing!

Ok, pretty interesting so far ;-)
As much as everyone is trying to deny it, all the top drives have been practicing on astro / carpet for the last couple of months, so that put's pretty much all of the drivers on the same page. Couple of exceptions for sure. ( and all of the Schumacher team )
Some guys are still running EOS-style low rideheights, which gives massive problems on the "speedbumps".
But what I really don't understand is why no one is running front cut wheels. It kind of looks like a 8th scale type mount.
That's what's often done on fresh astro tracks. It makes the tyre a bit wider / more flat and a lot easier to drive.
