That looks brilliant, if it's to scale it looks fucking huge compared to the karts on the track.

Its brilliant, been a few times. Best bet is to put your brain in neutral, foot down and just have a laugh

Looks awesome, but where's the tunnel?
Think this is where we were meant to be going for my dad's stag do, but they double booked us just after christmas and cancelled it

That's the only place i could think of, hardly a monaco style tunnel though, it's just under track and from the picture you can't tell. Oh well

Monaco is an open sided tunnel though so more or less the same.

I've been on that track. Its awesome but imo its too long for really close racing. the small track there is cool too.
One corner on the big track is great for drifting round.

The last time i went there i got black flagged.Came down off the upper level, down the start finish straight and went straight thru the tyre wall making a marshall jump out of the way. Was the highlight of the day, Needless to say the marshall needed some new underwear
When we went, The bloke who my dad works for hired out the whole place, and had the cafe there do free food for us all, The only thing you had to pay for was the beer. Cost him a few grand to do it all though!
Also just looking at the track above, its changed a bit since i went, They've got rid of the slingshot, That was the best part!

Been there loads. It's fairly big but the karts aren't powerful enough to make it up the new upstairs section unless you take it wide and leave yourself open on the right hander after the tunnel.

Yeah, let the kart skip over the top of the ramp, it will catch before you crash but you need to keep the revs up
