Races At Tissa

[fuzzo]

anyone planning on heading to tissa for the races. those should be fun. friend of mine said that the presidents son is also supposed to take part. can't confirm this.

Well if you've been following the developments you'll know that its being done on a massive scale with approval right from the top. Even though next weekend's race is going to be held on the 3.6 km loop, the eventual facility will have 3 layouts, the longest of which will be the 5.6 km Grand Prix layout.

Its good times for racing these days because there is Kurunegala this weekend, Tissa the weekend after and Nuwara Eliya the weekend after that. Then, there are like 3 Katus left this year including 2 in September.

Errr... it doesn't look finished. But the layout is cool!

[fuzzo]

yeah i thought it was completed. i guess there is no specific place for spectators etc.

Or the media guys

[madmax]

The track I heard is complete. But ppl have mixed feelings about the organizers and whether they can make it a success... but lets hope for the best and that it doesn't turn out to be like Kurunegala.

Any one whose planning to come - be prepared for the heat and bring along plenty of drinking water...

If anyone need accomodation let me know - I might be able to hook you up with a couple of places..

As madmax has quite rightly put it, prepare your self for some extreme heat like in Katukurunda or even worse!

That's very indecent of you to have said that. And it's "because" not "coz"

ummm, why did u quote my reply and reply to madmax?

he! he! i remember you were complaining about having to be the official reporter of AL @Katukurunda because of the heat.

[Pericles]

A. Thats photographer.

B. Was complaining of the sun, not the heat. I still have a noticable tan line on my upper arms after that day.

C. There seem to be more trees around than Katu in the arial shots, so there should be shade.

if u opt to climb to a bigger tree you might as well get arial shots of the track of your own!

There will be 2 events for these drivers. One will be the GT class and the other will be the open event which will be called the “Grand Prix”. This event consisting of the fastest 20 cars on the day of qualifying. This means even if a standard car qualifies within the fastest 20 cars, they can run the “Grand Prix” event.

The GT event will be 8 laps and the “Grand Prix” event will be 10 laps. Each lap will be 3.4km which means these 2 events will be the longest circuit race run ever for the Super Cars. This 10 laps of 3.4km is equaling to 27 laps at Fox Hill.

What a race this is going to be... Dont Miss it.......

Cheers for all !!!!!!
