says that Route km in 2003 were at 16,652 down from 28,100 Kms in 1961
So is it likely to have dropped further since 2003 to 16627?? I dunno and haven't entered yet!!0 -
I was going to post this, but I've spent yesterday and today trying to find the answer. No luck yet!0

I found this but not sure if the info is right! It mentions track info but doesn't match what they want!Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T0 -
They've now changed the top option to 16,2080

They've changed the question too
Last measured between 2006 and 2007, the United Kingdom is the home to how many kilometres of track
hard to enter a competition when the people who set it don't know the right answer!! :eek:0 -
Well, given that they'e changed the top option you'd assume that was the answer as they had to change it to get it right! So, I'm going with that! Thanks for all the effort peeps, someone from here better win it!Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
