I wonder how long it would take me to get there? :-k

Doesn't look massivley challenging? Just a oval? Or is the panned out shot a bit misleading.

[stan]

:roll: its obviously not just an oval is it!

[richy]

looks just like a nascar oval track to me lol :lol:

[Jamie.]

If your being pedantic then obviously no. However my comment was condesending to the point I was incinuating it does not look particuarly difficult with two whopping straights down parralel of the track.

But thanks for your input there.

[stan]

No worries pal :lol:
