    unlike the american courses, land in hong kong is very expensive. the infield is used as a rec-park during the non-racing days

                                                    check out the grand stand. when you have a shitload of money, you can have any type of grass you want. so far this is the best race track i've seen.

                                                      no dirt track?

                                                        actually it is not natural grass

                                                        it is called sandmesh

                                                        sand base, by mid season it looks like shit, i rue the day they pulled the natural grass

                                                        the reason for the change rain drains faster , saves a few meetings per year

                                                          it is called sandmesh

                                                          sand base, by mid season it looks like shit, i rue the day they pulled the natural grass

                                                          the reason for the change rain drains faster , saves a few meetings per year
