Totally unrecognisable from when I went round in 60s, the amount of space allocated to run off areas, must make the spectators feel miles away from the action. Obviously a lot safer but wouldn't imagine as exciting to watch
I wouldn't say it's unrecognisable as the layout has remained almost identical, Gerrard's bend had a large gravel run-off added in the 70s and has been grassed over today to stop the notorious rolls that occurred but despite all motor racing circuits changing for safety's sake you can still get close at Mallory and see the majority of the circuit from various locations. The far worse issue is Mallory being restricted by local authorities because residents complain about the noise, yet they chose to buy houses next to a racing circuit - the venue has lost a lot of income.
What group mate?
