Following on from Jim's comments I was surprised there was no division along the centre of the track leading up to the Banking. Yesterday a Sierra Cosworth was exploring the layout of the new rallycross section.......So far was he off the "upside" to the banked corner that he became a waved yellow hazard on the "downside". That was a bit of a worry. Also there was no refuge for drivers coming to a stop on the inside of the track.
On the short section we observed during the day there was plenty of scope for different lines and minnows could challenge mightier cars with a bit of bravery. Made for interesting viewing. One Caterham Vauxhall mixed it with Porsche GT3's and swift single seaters in another race.
Any new track is welcome and new Anglesey seems to be a real challenge.
They also need to turn off that powerful fan in the paddock. It turned so hard yesterday it sent strong winds all over the circuit, blew away possessions from the paddock, made people look like Eddie The Eagle as they tried to stand upright, flagging was nigh impossible and turned raindrops into face stinging needles.
Discovered a new definition of Flagellation - stand on bank at Anglesey with flag aimed trackside and hit oneself with stick repeatedly. Practice until it gets dark then quit.
But we'll still be back ......if only to see Pete Roberts in Orange!
