Anyone been there. Can you comment on circuit saftey? Do they have large run-off area`s or is it a tight track with lots of armco?

Any info welcome cheers!

I've been around it in a road car in January, so I'm assuming it hasn't changed. There is plenty of run-off around most of the track where you would need it.

The only place where you could have problems is at the end of the main straight (apparently 140+mph potential!), where you need to brake for a right hander. There is about 50 meters of tarmac run-off area after the turn-in point for the corner, so you would need to seriously underestimate the braking area for the corner to be in any real trouble.
