The old track's lap length was 46.4 metres (152' 3" in old money). It looks and feels like a four lane raceway. It could be used in either direction. Looking from the drivers rostrum, the cars pass from left to right in even years and the opposite direction in odd years. Times look like about 5.7 for sports, 6.3 group 12, 6.6 1/24th production. Probably a bit faster with good cars.
