Can't believe it!

If it turns out anything like the plans it will be epic

I'll be coming for a track day and an Ulster Fry

[Chris]

Imagine having enough money to just be like "yeah fuck it I'll build my own track"

 

[Cossers]

I knew nothing about it tbh until it was all over the news the other night! Honestly can't wait, never done a track day in my life!

Bet you won’t believe the prices either ! They are going to be eye-watering to fund that place I reckon.....

Can not be higher than my Playground @sevenfourate

Maybe - but dont really matter if it’s only once or a couple of times a year.

Just the fact if it’s on your doorstep but a silly high price makes it prohibitive it’s a bit of a shame I reckon.

Let’s hope I get proved wrong for @Cossers sake.

To be honest I think it's going to turn into the same as the circuit wales have you seen the image of it

They claim 30,000 people will attend events I've been to a lot of the UK circuits and I cant see it happening it will wind up being a demand for public money hole like the maze project were a race track was going to be built £12m spent on consultation and still nothing. It will be used as a tool to end motorcycle road racing like the Northwest 200 and Ulster Grandprix and if Silverstone is broke and Brands hatch under threat due to noise from the houses built on the land they sold to developers around the perimeter of the track limiting the number of events they can have each year. I would like to see how they will deal with 30,000 people in a place that traffic wardens were told to get out by the locals. Quote from Belfast Telegraph "Traffic wardens are to be deployed in a Northern Ireland town which hit the headlines after it was revealed not one parking ticket had been issued over a six-year period."
"Earlier this year, it was revealed that, while 77,000 parking enforcement notices were issued across Northern Ireland in 2015, not one had been handed out in Coalisland".

The maze is a political hotbed and that's the issue there, this on the other hand isn't, I for one would love to see it happening. After all we are sort of known for our motorsport heritage, it's only a few miles off the motorway and I don't think parking will be an issue as they will just build a monster car park close by as there plenty of land.

Will lose my shit if that’s the case. Probably my favourite driver along with Ash Sutton (who NEARLY was my instructor at Brands Hatch)

Heard about this on the news the other night, absolutely fantastic for N Ireland let's hope it is completed. I would love to be able to do a few laps on a brand new facility....fingers crossed all goes well.
