Hey Guys,
Thanks for the info Mal,as far as i remember "The Paddock'
roads were entirely rebuilt to the new layout in 2011.Also there is a
drivers video from 2012 in a Southbank D2 and late 2020 with D1's running
in to stable (both on Brenden S YouTube channel) showing the fans for 1-6
in mass concrete and seemingly looking fine with the concrete still in
really good condition.
