The front of the building has effectively been removed, as this will be turned into the Peugeot showroom as part of the sponsorship deal.

A closer look at the gingerbread house, which will be utilised again - you can see the track in the foreground goes inside, just like the old Vintage Cars circuit.

More vehicles on site. The gingerbread house in the distance is to be redecorated for the new theme, if the concept art is anything to go by.

The circuit heads towards where the Cred Street Carousel used to be - hence why it needed to be removed. The tarmac has not yet been laid here.
