Spot on bro I have been rallying there since the early 90's It used to be one right rough and tumble place, but since they modded the track, and added the rallycross bit (and bar ) its gone from strength to strength.

Mona is an active airfield and NOT used for any mainstream filming or motorsport

Quite a few track days are held there by various companys now, so you can take anything on if you pay the money.
