Curborugh is well polished tarmac. The only decent bit of tarmac is the startline which was resurfaced sometime last year. When its wet there it becomes slippery very quicly

Smack-on.
A VERY deceptive track in all conditions and a bugga to do fast.

Bloody good fun mind esp in an agile car.
Will slaughter the NS front tyre.

Double lapper even more fun....
Site is a bit rustic but a real clubby place for the day.

Watch out for the wasps.

The first 1/3 is a great sweep, 2/3 is very tight when going for it, last 3/3 is a drag race.
