Well, I found it very difficult to drive. I don't admit to being the best driver in the country...far, far from it. We're not all top drivers.
I didn't finish a single run, and completed the whole day in bottom spot.
R1 - broken wishbone, due to over enthusiasm over the last tripple on the first lap (See, I admitted driving silly)
R2 - Broken shock bottom, due to a fairly normal landing off the last tripple (No over enthusiasm this time)
R3 - speedo probs
R4 - Broken rear shock tower on the second big jump. Not taken HUGE just the normal way that everyone else was doing, from first jump to second jump....the way I'd taken it the previous 2 laps.....only to get carried sideways and upwards by the wind.
I did find the track far too bumpy. I couldn't compare it to Eden park Lee, as I found Eden to my liking and no where near as bumpy. (In fact I had my best national result there last year).
I did find it difficult to see some parts of the track too, and found the section at the far right of the track to be a little narrow in places.
I did find, like Ben, that I never had the same take off on the jumps every time, and for this reason found them inconsistent. Just a going over and sorting all the astro joints would probably make it more 10th friendly as there was a couple of time when just a dodgy astro joint threw the car up...and sometimes over.
The team were friendly enough, although I was a bit surprised when the race director was too busy talking to another marshal when I rolled over, and he then had to run from a further marshal point to marshal my car.
I think some very basic style wind breaks could be put across the fence at the back to help with the wind problem, because where I stood to marshal at point 1, there was no wind at all, due to the banked corner acting as a wind break, infact it was rather hot down there. So it could work.
Just my oppinion.
