Description | In 2004 it was decided to deeply renew the circuit. At first it seemed that all works should have been finished in 2005, while later for organisational reasons they decided to do them in two or three years. So 2005 GPs will be raced on a track modified at De Bult and Ruskenhoek curves, while all remaining section will be unchanged. Ruskenhoek will be changed because of 2006 changes, when new North and South Loops will be built; De Bult is changed in order to have a better run-off area. | ||||

Description | Just after Superbike GP in September 2005, second step of track renewal will begin, so that winter activity such as such as driving courses and motorcycle trainings, cars and a racing licence course will go on without any stop. The track will be shorten up to 4.7 km by eliminating North section. Moreover, two short cuts will be added, in order to have two short circuitsm that can be used concurrently: Noordlus (North Loop) e Zuidlus (South Loop). Exact layout of these short cuts is not decided yet: on my map I draw two hypotesis for each loop. | ||||
