The circuit is of a quarter mile length, with two banked corners, and a tarmac track surface. In addition to the grass banks surrounding the circuit, spectators can watch from terracing directly next to the track, along with two all-seater grandstands situated on the two corners, with covered seating for 3000 spectators.
