The Autocross track is well underway to welcome the first Autocross event of the new championship. This will be carried on in the coming days so the race course will enable races to be held in a clockwise and an anti-clockwise direction.
Another ongoing project is the erection of a new Control Room which is to replace the earlier room after 34 years of service. This project had to be done following a small fire incident in this same building that occurred this summer.
