Hi Andy, If you are in contact with the organisers, please pass on our thanks for the opportunity to participate. The event has clearly grown every year to something really special. I do think that something needs to be put into place to control the gates just a little more as all the gates were realesing cars as soon as they were ready and this resulted in significant bottle knecking and queing with motors over heating and tyres getting cold. the second half of the afternoon session and to some extent the second half of the morning did improve.
Significantly as the lorries and JCB's use the outside of the track and taxiways they do need to cross the circuit around the last corner and at the end of the gates at the start. The start was managed brillently by the marshalls but there were a number of times it supprised you to see a lorry crossing as you got to the last corner, given that these are not being driven by experienced lorry drivers, it is less than ideal.
More radical but I wonder if there is a potential to get the Royal Engineers/TA to deploy a bridge for the event so that either the lorry/JCB or the gates could be placed on the inside of the track but away from the grass runway thus elliminating the need for a crossover???
