Agreed - that's a huge improvement.

There were a few instances on Saturday where it looked like the drivers were still trying to sort out their landing when they should have been braking for the elbow. I guess if you add in wet weather and a painted kerb then that makes it more tricky. The kerb looks to be necessary though so no issues with that for me.

Thanks
the jump may be gimmicky but it does provide a good photo opportunity! I got lucky with the Wood/Harrold shot

Seconded - hope everything survived ok, I drowned a camera one year at Lydden, bought a camera cover soon after

I have to admit I seriously considered going on Monday simply because the weather was due to be awful. The bad weather does provide good action and plenty of photo opportunities with spray and filth everywhere. Some of my favourite rallycross photos I've taken have been in grim conditions.
