After many years the course layout was amended for the 2014 season and a 'cross-over'
has been added that links Molehill to the Shenstone Straight. See the following image for the new sequence of events. The BMMC will continue to
use the original layout for it's May sprint and the new figure of 8 for the August sprint.
May 2023
This year the Curborough 8 sprint was moved from August to May and coincided with King Charles III's Coronation on Saturday 6th May. We brought a cake
to the circuit that we had decorated in the form of the Union Jack, so at lunchtime we all celebrated The King's Coronation with a piece of cake!
The weather was unfortunately damp, wet and cold most of the day at 12/13C, so the track never fully dried but I was happy to get 1st in Class on T1.

In the August runs at Curborough we use the figure of 8 circuit and as in all sprints this year, tyre warming was not allowed so
everyone found it harder to get off the line.
Times
P1 - 76.36s - Damp conditions for P1, hence a very apprehensive time
P2 - 63.91s - Drier, so a better time
T1 - 61.63s - Dry conditions and nearly equalled my PB
T2 - Rain arrived and nobody bothered taking T2

Times
P1 - 65.19s - First practice on new layout
T1 - 66.37s - Terrible run
T2 - 63.77s - Now settling down with better lines
Sadly the day suffered from a couple of 'offs' (no-one injured) which caused a few time delays.
