Welcome to the GP of Wales... Wait, whut?

The Circuit of Wales will be applying for planning permission next month, a venue spokesperson has confirmed to GPUpdate.net. The proposed track, based in the Rassau Industrial Estate to the North of Ebbw Vale, is part of an 830-acre development which is set to cost in the region of £250 million to construct.

Should the initial plans be accepted within the expected timeframe - which the circuit firmly believes will be the case - work on the facility is set to begin in early 2013.

Sounds quite interesting, and assuming the image in the article is the finalised layout, it could be quite good. Lots of flowing corners, no 90 left/90 right Tilke crap.

Hope a round of the BTCC goes there though.

That's what I was thinking, it looks a good layout for touring car racing.
