The Orange Council keeps the Gnoo Blas circuit in top nick and carefully signposted



Map of the Circuit as it's today. Bottom left shows the modified area which I'll point out when we get there.



Thanks to Orange City Council for solving the riddle of where the name came from for me!

 
The view from what was once the Start line
The flat out sweeper on Pit Straight
Mrs Muttons Corner, not one to get wrong as a creek waits to catch those whom messed up their braking
The stretch out of Mrs Muttons
The circuit crests then begins to fall into The Dip
The view from the bottom of the dip shows just how steep the climb out is
Connaghans Corner would've been flat for the brave
The Sweep is actually a series with the next right hander
Both would've been flat
The run into Brandy Corner
Brandy Corner is the only place where the circuit is not drivable the circuit swung hard right here
The now closed run from Brandy through to the Radius
Original Bridge perhaps? I would not be surprised
Where the old circuit rejoins the new road
The long and very fast Hospital Straight stretches into the distance
Much further up Hospital Straight
Wind Sock Corner was quite tricky in it's day
Wind Sock smoothly feeds you onto The Courseway
Speet's Bend would've been very tricky I think due the climb and huge camber drop off on exit
Looking down the Pit Straight the start finish was about in line with the car
