anyone manage to find a street map with the circuit on? Obviously it started on bristol street, then hooked a left onto tthe inner ring road doing a U-turn at the island but can't find out where it went from there?
The island where they did the U-turn is still a dodgy shape today

You'll have trouble figuring out the route now because they road network in the centre has changed loads since the race took place.

It'd probably involve removing some central reservations and stuff, but it wouldn't be impossible . The Arcadian carpark is a goldmine (read day-light robbery) so they'd probably want a small fortune themselves to close for the weekend .
