Cadwell Park has undergone a further safety upgrade over the winter, with Chris Curve - which leads racers from the top of the circuit back down to the infield - receiving an run-off extension to provide riders and spectators alike with extra space.

Contractors Buckingham Group have realigned the barrier along a 240-metre stretch at Chris Curve, increasing the run-off area by over 20 metres - effectively doubling the distance between the track and new safety barrier. A major ground works project was required to raise its level to match that of the circuit, which involved movement of over 4000 tonnes of material. The earth removal from the inside of the track also has the added safety benefit of improving visibility for competitors exiting the Park to Chris Curve sections of the circuit.

“Everyone in our sport acknowledges there are inherent risks involved but MSV are strongly committed to improving safety wherever possible at our circuits,” said Jonathan Palmer, Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision.

“Developments such as these at Chris Curve are vitally important in minimising risk and reducing accident damage, and will be appreciated by the thousands of visitors every year who race on the circuit or enjoy taking their own vehicle on trackdays.”
