Not a lot, just a few trees cleared from the old hairpin really and a few bits of grass levelling.

[dickieducati]

yeah, you dont even notice it. unless you take a shortcut across the old hairpin

No tarmac changes, but you do get a slightly better view round old hairpin.
Didn't notice anything different at mansfield tho.

I slid a long way on my arse and I've got the turf to prove it.......

As for changes at Cadwell, they seemed to have made the track surface a bit colder!!!

Trees cut down at Hall bends was done early 2005, the work this year involved replacing a lot of tyre walls with armco and some levelling of the area inside the hairpin and moving the wall back a bit. The only time I noticed was when doing the siting laps for the novice group, rest of the time your eyes are on the track. No track changes unless you count the fairy liquid that they seem to have poured on Hall Bends - all the track days that have been there so far have had an unusual amount of fallers there. The canteen crowd should see some action at the weekend.

Someone spilled half their engine contents around the track from Mansfield to Halls when we were there a week and half ago

Felt like riders in the storm getting through all the cement dust that was put down.

They've been digging a bit, there are some nice, big muddy patches you could lose a Ducati in if you're not careful
