OAKES FIELD
Description First used in 1957, it was used for Nassau Speed Week until 1966. According to "Da Monza a Indianapolis" book in 1973 this circuit was still in use. Maps on Racingcircuits.net and GEL Motorsport Tracks Around The World are slighly different on last corner, but I don't know if this is due to a track change or a wrong map
