I was simply frustrated in the end watching the same layouts over and over again, and just endless acceleration runs for the drivers from corner to chicane.

It is all we have and for me it saw out the years after the spectator ban on single venues but I feel looking at entries this year a lot of the drivers have had enough .
Donington has had the infield gravel section re-instated on both of the events I have attended as a spectator in the last 12 months.

Oulton has a gravel section, a low grip handing section and a water splash so hardly a rally sprint. And I am sure that I got to see all of that the last time I was there.

And I think that Snetterton also had a water splash this year for the first time, although I didn’t attend, as well as using many of the internal twisty paddock roads.

The drivers I have spoken to all seem to enjoy it and the entries have been good at every round I have spectated at (Oulton, Snetterton, Donington).
