Built in an area 55m wide by 27m deep, the track resurface involved the input of Atsushi Hara, fellow Bangkok racers Jilles Groskamp & Meen Vejrak and regular Bangkok visitor Andy Moore. Hara said while the general positioning of the islands were maintained they where reduced in size to maximise track surface as a result while the track looks similar it is quite different to drive. Using a much finer asphalt Hara said the track is now much better with 2015 Champion Alexander Hagberg agreeing the surface is a big improvement. Reigning Champion Bruno Coelho, who is making his third TITC outing, was slightly less impressed by the resurfacing saying, ‘to be honest if you don’t tell me they changed it I won’t have know but it did feel like they changed the layout of the bumps’. Describing the layout as ‘pretty easy’, he added it was a pity they didn’t try to make it ‘more technical & more challenging’.
