Due to the unfortunate event of VIR's Mighty Oak falling down, we have had to
make
some changes to the entire Oak Tree Turn. It was our intention to wait until
winter to
make these changes and to release this announcement for 2014, but a few recent
incidents have shown we need to take action now.
The station that was formerly known as 11A and was the next station in line
after
Station 10 has been moved across track to Driver's Left and is now Station 11.
Station 11, formerly known as the Oak Tree station setting directly underneath
the tree,
has been moved off the turn and placed on Driver's Left at the Photo / F&C
access gate
inside the chain-link fence and will now be called Station 12.
Positive FIA apex curbing has been added to the Oak Tree turn at Driver's Right.
Both
of the previous corner stations have been removed and the area has been graded
flat
and seeded.
The stations will now be numbered as 11 and 12, and the station formerly known
as 12
(located at the "Bitch" turn for South Course) will now be called Station 13.
Stations 11
and 12 will always be manned when F&C services are required and will work in
tandem
with each other.
