AFAIK pitlane is the dashed line under the bridge and Ventus gas station was used for refueling only.

I thought I remembered reading about this here at the forum somewhere. Watching this years' edition on MotorsTV right now

Yeah the track isn't exactly up to snuff in terms of safety, to put it mildly (although it doesn't look overly dangerous), but I have to say I think it's great to see them being able to do something like this. They must have pretty good support from the local government and community, which is nice to see.
