That's not the point. Close walls = unsafe. Sandown does have a fast chicane on it, unfortunately the fast chicane has no run-off area and is wildly unsafe. :/
Long fast corners = more fun to drive in fancy GT3 cars (the target audience of the circuit being wealthy enthusiasts with GT3 cars), with lots of run of space for peace of mind should you get it wrong, compared to tight point and squirt corners.
