Didn't the website say it was 8m wide on the start/finish and 6m wide elsewhere?

Aaah, Geoff, you have to remember that architects aren't precise like engineers!   When an engineer I know laid the footings for his new house himself, the brickie he hired couldn't believe his luck, because they were spot on!

Too true! CAD systems work to 3 decimal places. Audi insist you do everything to an accuracy of 0.001 mm, but they are German (I can say that - some of my best friends are German).

Building this extension of mine would be easier if the bricks were within at least 1.0mm, some of the bricks are 2-3mm thicker/wider/longer than others. I wonder if audi made bricks if they would be within 0.001mm.

Anyway, about the track, looks a nice one :) Providing we use the full track of course and not that extremely tight looking hairpin turn about half way.
Any idea what the local are like around that area? Are they likely to put hazard tape across the track and then start laying bricks on it?

The scale on the map was 1:1250 - but the document had a zoom of 50% when I took the screen shot. I'm not sure if that makes it 1:2500 or 1:0675 - it's too early on a Sunday morning to work that sort of thing out!

There is a 2m fence on the map and in the photos - but I'm not sure if that is to keep the locals out or the visitors in!
