Phil Saxena Commentary
4X track designer Phil Saxena finished most of his work here last week. The
local crew has lots of homework to do before Phil is back a week before the
event, but one can now get a pretty good idea what the track will look like. We
have produced a short film on a walk through the track with Phil. The film is
technically far from excellence but could be very interesting for someone who
wants to hear about this track from the builder himself.
