\"NEW\" mallory
 

does anybody know how the layout will be at mallory park for 06?

I guess the same as last yearplus a new control tower and media suite.
Ho and they might sweep the circuit:P

F**k off, no way would they spoil the "essential character" by such a radical act!

Alright so I told a lie:)

Bet they don't do anything about security.

Hopefully a completely new feckin track instead of that big roundabout.

Mind you what the hell do i know?

It was closed to testing this last Wednesday as they set about altering the run off at the hairpin, Caught a few people out that went to go testing

I heard somewhere that the plum pudding races will be the last time people can go round before gerrards is altered.

Nah!... they need a chicane at the Bus-stop, and a chicane at Edwina's...I can still get through there with my feet up!

this is what i heard off a customer,something to do with gerrards.might pop up & see later

It's been on a few other websites for weeks. All rumours that I've seen so far, nothing confirmed, but it appears there are plans to extend the track. Some posts say it will change at Gerrards with a left half way around followed by another right and back onto the straight for Edwinas. Many complaining that Gerrards is the only reason to go to Mallory and some saying one of the best corners in the UK will be spoilt.

Personally I really like Mallory, great atmosphere, rather like Cadwell, umlike the squeeky clean Silverstone etc. The track is not great, but enough of a 'real' motorcycle track to make a trackday/raceday really enjoyable.

They own all the land in front of the pit garages. The best improvements would be to go up and over the hill at the bus stop and use the land up there and bring it back to Devils Elbow. A few decent corners in the hill would make it very interesting.

And they could fill in the bloody lake while they're at it so the fog doesnt hang around all the bloody time in the spring and autumn :P

Interesting idea! That could create another 'Mountain'!!
It would be a big mistake to alter Gerrards, I think.
My favorite bit of Mallory was always the Esses, but that disappeared when Edwinas was put in.
There's a lovely story of Hailwood going through the Esses flat out on the last lap and trouncing Phil Read at the flag.

PMSL.... bit harsh, but true!

What ever they do, if Gerrards is changed it will be a shame, but times move on, so do the tracks, a longer Mallory, Hmm that could be good. I wonder if they will change the tea bag in the urn for next year?

I've just received a crmc newsletter which mentions ...
"New chicane at Gerrards and new assembly area"

And from the new era forum ...
" the changes will be from the halfway point round gerrards. You will turn in as normal but then there will be a short straight then a chicane"

Any more info on this yet?

Would like to see how the circuit will look next year?

Anyone know any websites with any details....

I've just found this sneak preview highly detailed plan....

Think you missed the pair of tits on the outside of gerrards :sing::lol::sing:

How about that now??? :lol:

PMSL :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh yeah, and they're moving it to Spain :D

:rofl:

Your an artist Dom and if they are moving it to Spain it will be dryer than the last time I went round it :lol:


So back to the real question.... anyone seen a new layout then?

The latest word is that the chicane is a right - left - right at the exit of gerrards, but they've not started doing it yet.
There is also a bigger run-off at the hairpin (which currently looks more like a nicely raked flower-bed :P )

(There's a lot of interest from the classic and vintage clubs, and I'm getting my info from their message boards)

Thanks Phil.

Sounds scary though, a chicane at the end of gerrards?

One of the fastest right handers in the country into s chicane - braking while fully cranked over - having to use the wider line to brake for the new chicane which pouts you in the bumpy bits?

Oh well, its another new bit to learn.

Here are some pictures of the work in progress

intresting stuff.

Theres traffic lights @ gerrards @ the mo,hope they've gone before the season kix off,& i've heard they're putting a roundabout in at Edwinas,and a Mcdonalds,for little jon,you know what them builders are like !!!!!

:lol:

:D:D:D

looks good, will it be in use for the february track days.....:puzzled:

I love Mallory....there I've said it...however....

Has the person that designed this ever ridden a bike?

How the heck are we going to stop for that right hander when we are doing 100 around Gerrards fully cranked over. Seems to me they have transferred the accidents at Edwinas back to Gerrards as you MAY enter Edwinas a bit slower, but not much on a big bike. Shame they had to spoil the best bit of the circuit. Hairpin looks much better safety.

Official preview.

Should look like this.

My lad tested at Mallory the Wednesday before Christmas.

He's due to go back early February to test again when it re-opens.

Will let you all know how it fairs, alters lap times etc...

Here'e an old arial view

Blimey thats a bit sharp :o

poo sticks:(

Reminds me of a cadwell hairpin on the inside of one of the quickest bends around?

New line for Gerrards I guess :o

dont remind me of that hairpin yella!:( carnt wait to put the demons to bed though.:)

Maybe they've thought it would be a good idea to run the other way round???? then that madness would be on the end of the straight, slowing the corner speed down.....
looks like Gerards has just become the slowest corner in the country.

oh no .....what have they done !!!!!!!!
