Who's the end client? Who owns the land? Has detailed planning been given? Who's funding it? Are the funds there or are they having to go out for equity/debt investment?
According to the CG image they posted it will be located here in Rassau: here ois a google grab of the area with a placemark indicating the location. it looks like it will be on the llangynidir mountain road which is a nice little run too!
That's not far from my favourite asda, surprised it would get permission so close to the national park due to noise.
Dunno - but lots of info available if you are can be bothered https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Heads+of+the+Valleys+Development+Company Please do share anything interesting that you find out.
Point I was trying to make is that even if something is planned and announced to the world there is still a huge chance that nothing will happen. Many a slip betwixt cup and lip, and all that.
What are the financial backers expecting to do with all the rain they catch mid fall as it tries every weekend to flood the place.
Aye - but signs seem positive don't they? The planning regulations in this country are particularly ludicrous I know, but if there is an area of the country that needs this investment, and could home a circuit like this easily then Rassau is it. Fingers crossed!

It'll get the Sheep vote. Anything that gives them a weekend off from 'recreational activities' is to be welcomed. At the end of the straight you'll be able to hear Eeeeewwwwweeeeee, eeeeewwwwweeeee, eeeeeewwwwwweeeeee!
look like a very smoothly meandering track.. well they will be certain o some very important customers : All possible tire manufactures wanting to test their winter/rains - tires and racing team testing new airo wind deflecting gear... noise? on top of those hills , it must be so windy, noise will just blow away ! looking good !
That's not far from me either It would generate much needed income in that area. Beautiful in summer not so nice winter Now I can see why the roads have been updated up to heads of the valley Roll on development
Some belting roads and views down there. Fingers crossed it gets past all the B/S rules and gets the funding it needs.
F*ck me, they'd better keep a good supply or Rain tyres close at hand!! I'm from down the road a bit and Wales just seems to be getting wetter and wetter and wetter. I cannot see Valentino et al rocking up at Abercwmspangle, MotoGP bikes in tow, in the p1ssing torrent that passes for a Welsh summer. Remember the biblical floods that caused Noah to build the Ark? 40 days and 40 nights of rain that was. STILL better than any summer I've ever had in Wales!!
