That stone/rock wall on both sides on the track can't be safe. Looks like a great spot though.

Looks like a fun track in a great fun country. I've raced in Croatia a couple times and immensely enjoyed the place!

Hi, Damo...I remember you and your mate from a race in Gračišče...some 8 years back ;)

@Norbar - the track will have several new parts to make it even safer, slower in places. There will also be new "wood" section.
There was 0 serious injuries last year, and we hope for the same in 2014.

Best regards!

You could do without the first 53 seconds of the video. It makes it look like a pain in the arse just to get there, perhaps discouraging?
Just a thought

Was it Buddha that said: "It the path that's important not the destination" ;)

*Ryaniar and Wizair fly to some nearby airports (Trieste, Pula, Ljubljana and Rijeka)

The point of the race is to win, isn't it? ;) Safety should be available even at fight speeds.
What do F1 drivers say about Monaco GP? Safety is relative :shocked:

:)

For that reason im interested to try out there in Croatia.

Great to hear, that's also really surprising (in a good way). The track looks great. It's just me being too detail oriented after some bad experiences not really related to that track


btw. If you want a C1 Tour 2 weeks later there is a C1 Race in Poland ;)
