To be honest I think the major problem was the cold and hazy conditions which couldn't have been good for grip. If they have got rid of some of the famous lumps and bumps that's not a bad thing, though I'll miss the resurfaced patch on the exit of Gerrards that was handy to judge your trajectory out of the bend!

I agree the conditions didn't help, but I've raced in simular and not seen as many people struggling like they were last weekend. People were having strange crashes. As Carole said David came off in a warm up lap incident! I was virtually upright (more like a wet crash) one of Alan's was very similar.
For what it's worth, I think if they could get out with a fire truck and give the track a good washing down 2-3 days running it would probably fix it.
As for the bumps the old transistion between the exit of edwina's and entry of esses seems to be smother, the bump up the hill to the hirpin doesn't seem to be as bad but the exit to Gerrards still feels like it's a bit bumpy but I think that is more to do with the slight crest up get there.

There were definately alot of very sudden falls with not alot of warning from the tyres; the guy who I hit went down so fast, but we were barely leant over and only travelling slow! Confused

Smokey; here's your tumble caught on film! Again, so sudden!

Smokey's demonstration!
