Drivers please vote to determine format for Winnipeg Beach

[Mat 158]

We’ve heard many positive comments regarding the format in Beausejour. Please vote your preference for race course layout in Winnipeg Beach.

Or what about a roval?

Like this?

I guess my immediate concern would be potential crossover without massive banks.

A few of the discussed advantages to an oval are having a super wide track which allows alternate lines, passing through the corners and confidence when driving blind through a blizzard.

It’s difficult to have a consensus with 10-15 drivers in the mix. The opinion of the Ice Race Management team is as long as the majority of the drivers are in agreement we will accommodate as best we can.

Third option added to the poll.

Schteeve had mentioned a modified version of the attached layout.

Count the marshal stations we'd need.  We have very few marshals this year, so far.  The above looks like needing at least 5.  Getting 3 would be possible but a stretch.

It would be a much simplified version of that layout but I agree it’s probably not realistic.

Yes, DIR.  In honour of Rolex 24hr.   Not sure where Mat pulled that image from.  What I was thinking was keep the two large sweepers at each end, the bus stop, then modify the infield road course section.  Sort of the Roval theme.

If that is what a "Roval" is then I would definitely support that as well (already voted for road course....). Basically its a road course with one big sweeper.....
