      Open to the public with toilet facilities (rare). Small amount of parking available.
      Track is in good condition and feels a little firm underfoot in spikes (not too firm though as it still gives a good return).
      A little exposed to the elements (front straight gets a bit of a headwind) but overall a great track to run on.
