Has been on the local TV news a few times here over the last year or so. All sounds a bit too pie in the sky for me and it's already mired in controversy about the financing. Will be great if it does happen, not only for the motorsport fraternity but also for the promised jobs with the associated technology park, hotels etc., if they can make it work, but I can't see how it will pay it's way. There's already plenty of other industrial developments in the area that were financed by European funding that lie empty. Ebbw Vale is not exactly conveniently located for business connections either.
As for Llandow Lofty, it is not in Angelsey but about 15 miles west of Cardiff in the Vale of Glamorgan. A very short circuit often used for sprints and the odd track day. Angelsey has it's own circuit - was used quite a bit by Channel 5 (5th Gear) for Tiff, VBH & co. to thrash around when reviewing cars. There's also Pembrey near Llanelli - the so called 'home of Welsh motorsport'.
