johndpeat should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
You should remember now there is no gravel at these points now entry speeds are higher as drivers feel less likely to lose out if the make a mistake.Also with no gravel cars that have major failure like no brakes,losing a wheel ect will not slow down till they hit somthing.The first thing that will be is the tirewall then the debris fence,so bit of car will be arriving faster and sooner than if the car has hit gravel.
And before you say it will never happen it has at copse last year in F.Ford with Ben Clucus losing a wheel after contact on the approch he hit the tires unabaited in excess of 100 mph.Debris flew everywhere.
