I understand what you're saying Lee but it's really no different to any permanent astro type facility. This year has been my first to Kiddie, Oz, Taly and (will be) Stotfold but so far, all have been scary, exciting and ultimately rewarding. EPR will be the same for you 'virgins' I'm sure.

Yes - getting it all wrong at full chat can result in breakages but that's the same anywhere. On the upside, the jumps don't need to be taken flat out - they're some of the easiest jumps I've come across this year so far and the surface, whilst it is harsh on tyres in the dry, does mean that it is easy on cells and motors (low drag).

Though I'm local (ish), I've not driven it very much and to be fair - nor has anyone on recent times cos until last year, it was completely overgrown but TBH, I've had more difficulties with the jumps at Oz and Talywain than I've ever had at EPR - because you can safely bail out of a full commitment jump and only lose a fraction of a second.
Drive with your head and it is very rewarding - throttle jam and it will bite you.
