The Cut The Chase Coalition write to GBGB raising concerns over safety at the newly-licensed Valley track. Despite GBGB’s claims to have a “robust process” for licensing tracks, further trials were suspended for some time whilst changes made to “the first and second bends to improve the camber, the radius and sight lines leading into the first bend” (GBGB letter to Coalition dated 14 September 2023). On the evidence we have seen since, these changes do not appear to have significantly improved the safety of the track. Indeed, updated aerial imagery following the works show no significant change to the geometry of the track.

GBGB claims to have 200 rules covering all aspects of racing. However, none of these deal with the shape of the track or the angle of the bends.
