Anyone wanting some of those lush flying superbike shots had better get to Cadders this season because it seems the circuit is going to get some massive changes:

Wondered how long MSV would be happy running a circuit not really suited for bigger car races...

Might be interesting, but Cadwell remains one of the few untouched old skool circuits in the UK in some beautiful countryside....

I had heard that, imho its going to a be crying shame. No mountain and fences up:'(
 
Cadwell was the first track day I did, getting air over the mountain the first time, there is nothing like it ! a real shame if they get rid of the mountain section but I can understand why they are doing this revamp
 
A paddock revamp would be good, but any modifications to the circuit would ruin it for spectators and drivers.

I'd rather they went to Anglesey which could cope than spoil the gem of Cadwell Park.

F3 haven't been there since the 1980's.
 
I don't think (hope) they would get rid of the mountain, but there might be a configuration that doesn't use it.
 
Like most recent other changes elsewhere, its all about getting the most value out of track days... which means making an environment where the less experienced don't destroy themselves causing stoppages that need circuit staff to deal with...

We always think of these circuits in their capacity for a handful of race weekends, not the day in day out bread and butter money earners that track days are...
 
True, but especially for bikers the mountain is such an iconic section of track. A lot of the photographs used for bike promotion are of bikes "cresting" the mountain. I would be very surprised if it was lost for track days.
 
They will have to make some ramps in a car park with cardboard boxes like I used to do as a kid ;-)
