Mallory Park bosses sought advice from Steve Hill, who is both a competitor and the Managing Director of Steve Hill Construction Ltd.
The advice has been taken on-board, and after a recent visit to the circuit to re-assess the problematic areas, Hill was suitably impressed.
“After a recent revisit to the circuit I can confirm the circuit have ticked every box on our suggestion list”, said Hill.
Concluding, Hill stated “Even with the bumps at last year’s event, Mallory Park was a very fast and exciting Rallycross venue, I’m looking forward to sampling what I can only describe as a massive improvement and I hope we can keep Mallory on our calendar for many years to come and all competitors can bring their cars with confidence to round 5 on August 8th”.
A multitude of improvements to the loose sections have been made, including rolling of the surface materials to firm-up the sections, as well as shallow ramps, designed to ease the transition between the asphalt sections and the loose sections.
