banking before the club chicane at Thruxton is the most dangerous place I can think of- potential for very high speed accidents as the cars brake. I witnessed Bruce Jouanny's F3 accident in 2001 when he flew over the catch fencing, hit the spectator bank and ended up in the bushes behind, That race was late on a Saturday evening and there were few spectators on the bank- if it had happened the sunday there could have been carnage. The police spent a lot of time that evening examining the track from the air and the ground- British motor sport was very lucky that day.
