Alastair I had the pleasure of looking at the facilities today as well as see the organisation of the event, and it is nothing short of stunning. I am happy to go on record as somebody who is not competing and has no ties to the track to say that the facilities are incredible and the the organisers should be justifiably proud of their efforts.
Anybody who has any criticsm of this worlds does not have a clue. Sometimes bad luck occurs as has been stated, but the amount of obvious effort gone into this event is incredible, and I have seen it with my own eyes.
Some of the cool stuff:
- 2 large grandstands with an excellent view of the track
- A whole row of full sized flags of all the countries competing
- A large scoreboard that shows track temp, sponsors, a listing of drivers in the next heat and their car numbers and real time lap timing
- A whole row of demountable huts for all the teams such as Kyosho, RB etc
- Screens in the pits showing everybodys positions and race times
