Preparatory work has begun on a new international motorsports venue in Northern Ireland which aims to secure series like the MCE British Superbike Championship in coming years. The £30 million development at Lake Torrent will see 163 acres of former clay pits in Coalisland, County Tyrone transformed into a ‘world class’ motorsport facility with the first phase of the project expected to be finished as early as 2019. At this stage plans for that first stage include the circuit, pits, medical centre, restaurant, hospitality suites, six business units and a crèche as well as a new public ring road to bypass the town and facilitate easy access in and out. Planning permission was granted on 5th September this year and spades hit the ground for the first time during a media event today as preparatory groundworks begin. “This is an historic day for the town of Coalisland, the county of Tyrone and for the whole of Northern Ireland as we finally start preparatory work on Lake Torrent,” said
