Cool. :) I have a feeling the race will be run the opposite way with the cars passing under the grandstand from the back and coming out the front into the crowds view… safely.

Hopefully, the tracks of the future can find ways to place the spectators in..."spectacular" positions. Safety and numbers must be a major concern when locating grandstands, but surely not the ONLY concern.

No more likely than, say, two cars interlocking wheels on Hangar straight and one clearing the debris fence?My point is that all racing tracks are dangerous to an extent, this one may be no more dangerous than the others (except that they're racing at night, which is a whole other thing!)

Max is supposed to be obsessed with safety and you don't need a detailed risk assessment to consider what might happen here. I have visions of one car launching over the back of another into the spectators. I can see the entertainment value and if I was going to the race I don't think I could stay away from that area because the noise and spectacle will be unsurpassed anywhere but this is not sensible or sustainable.If they do it this season I doubt they will ever do it again.
