Most of the new workshop facilities at Oran Park can be unbolted and moved to wherever on new concrete slabs. The owners of Oran Park have acreage or is that hectarage? in the Wilton-Pheasants Nest Area close to the F5 so I can almost walk there if it happens

Whatever they do, I really hope they at least make some attempt at consulting the riders as to the layout of the circuit prior to design. Of late, most new track designs I have seen have been quite boring ALA QR. Or like the wonderful extension they made at Winton!!! I mean really, what were they thinking????? Let's add three 90degree turns linked by dead straight bits?????? Dickheads!!!
While I like hard braking areas (Easy time to make up under brakes) I prefer flowing circuits, which are technical in nature, with elevation and camber changes. I reckon a reverse of the Island would make an awesome circuit too! Imagine the power slides comming off Lukey heights back down the hill into the Hayshed. And just imagine braking DOWNHILL into SIBERIA!!!!!!!

that'd be fun.....of sorts!!!
Also Imagine the current turn 12 (turn 1 in reverse) flat out up the straight, and then into a mad cambered right hander... Imagine backing it into the crofts!!!!!
Now that sounds like fun....where do we get hold of the designers!!!!!
