Hethel Track

[RogerLegg]

If you have been to Hethel before you may find the sprint course has changed. The current layout seems to be the standard one that is currently used. The 'new' layout uses a single lap and dispenses with the mini chicanes formed by cones. The main difference is Windsock Corner where you are directed away from the very fast corner to a very tight section forming a deep chicane. Needless to say it is important to exit this section as fast as possible to get the benefit down the long straight that follows. If you have been here before but haven't done this configuration it is important that you walk this section if nothing else.

Thanks Roger,

I was wondering about that from the regs map.

No Edward Lewis points then, wast of time my sandbagging last year

Looks to be the same as when we were last there in 2021. I remember the very tight section at Windsock.

[Tony Smith]

Oh dear it wasn't last year it was 2021  

I only remember a silly cone chicane at windsock? or was that the time before? and didn't we do a lap and a bit last time? 

Perhaps my memory is getting worse.

[Graham Howard]

Last time it was 3/4 lap. If you were really sandbagging Tony.....plenty of EL points!

[Drumster]

I think the double lappers were 2015 and 2016!

Just checked and unfortunately I wasn't as slow as I remember last time, so EL points are possible but not in the bag!!
