Yes the track does cross over itself so unless your going banger racing there I cant see them letting you do it.

I won the MLR sprint there
a 1-23.5 on my 4th lap
,
The track is much more difficult than it looks and some hairy
bits in there also.
I recon I could go 4 secs faster within another 10 laps and recon someone like the stig being another 1.5sec quicker.
