Nice track, raced there twice last year. There are a few bits that can catch you out, especially the first right hander, (not the kink in the straight) and the last right hander beofre the start finish straight. The new chicane was put there last year to slow you down for the last right hander as there is little or no run off, depending on how far along the stright you left the track. The chicane was officially designed by M. Mouse of Disneyland - it's basically a bit of tarmac put on the grass and a bollards to stop you staying on the old track, it's one at a time and the first one out has the advantage to the finish line, the guy behind has to rely on different gearing or an error from the guy in front. This means the last lap is hilarious if it's tight as nobody wants to give way on the brakes. I saw a superb accident there last year when someone did a stoppie right up to the bollards then left the bike and did a 360 over the top. Great place to watch.
