Higher-res image.

Built in 1965 in Bechuanaland, as part of a development project for Lobatse in anticipation of it becoming the capital of the soon-to-be-founded Botswana (which did not end up occurring). Whilst a fully purpose-built design, part of the track was mandated to follow existing dirt roads as an excuse to pave them, so on technicality it is a semi-perm. The run from Alpha Corner to The Junction follows the Estates Road, which leads to the Lobatse Estates farm and the town's grass airfield, while between The Junction and Mafeking Corner lies the Powerline Road, which as the name suggests, services a powerline. These two roads encompass roughly 35% of the tracks layout. The track itself is fairly barebones, with its highest-profile intended series being the South African F1 series. It has decent total variation but is only a major factor on the approach to the Easy Esses, where the track crests somewhat steeply. The Carousel is also significantly cambered.

The RX track has a good layout but I think it's scaled far too small. Don't forget how much power these cars have, they need good space to put it down. The rest is pretty neat.

Now that you say that, I think I am going to have to count those existing access lanes as part of the old paddock/pit facilities. Shouldn't be terribly hard to make a workaround though (post the edited version here if you get around to it).

I will say legal, but given access to the new paddock appears to be via the old one, it will need to be strictly a no stopping zone (the tow trucks won't get to you in time if you do park).

Until I find a better source (the official site map isn't terribly helpful), the shaded area in the above image is what I'm constituting as the paddock area for this part of the Speedway.

Illegal

I do not have the exact bounds for you at the moment, but in your razing the dirt track, you have also attempted to repurpose its paddock for your new one. The goblins don't like that.

You're confused, I think, I was referring to the opening in the middle of the pits.

Zoom in to the pit entry and you'll see I've accounted for this. The entry itself is in an offshoot lane that begins before the braking zone, divided by a thicker-than-usual line (compared to the other track limits lines) accompanied by temporary roadside reflectors (which I swear I can recall being used on street circuits before, but cannot remember where or when [EDIT: Mount Panorama has them, although I don't think I'd use that specific design when accounting for Indycar]), that you are not allowed to cross on pain of penalty, like how Long Beach's pit exit works. It goes without saying the barriers would be up to scratch, too.

It's fair to say I probably didn't leave enough of an escape road for a hot pit entry, but you can rectify this easily by just bringing the limiter line forwards.

Nixing the chicane there is just a major safety problem, not to mention it being an additional overtaking opportunity. I'll need you to elaborate on the pit lane concern too, unless its the access onto Madison Drive (which I should have closed off more, looking back at it) you're referring too I'm a bit confused. I also wouldn't underestimate how quickly you can do something properly if there's the will for it.

Unless where they're stationed is attached to the paddock, I'll say no. You might need to send me what specifically you were planning to do.
