Hi Guys

Here are some pics of the prep work being done at trap for the 1/5th scale worlds to be hosted there.

New pot holes to slow the cars down in the pit lane. :shock: LOL


Destruction and construction of the driver stand...was moved back by 2 meters to allow for better view of pit lane entry and to allow for wider pit lane.

TRAP have just revamped their website in preparation for the worlds events they are hosting this year. They are still in the progress of adding all the info on the different pages, but it looks much better than the old site already, go check it out at http://www.trap.co.za/
