the offset double worked well, they need singleing of course, they are different which is good.

The main problem today, was the complete lack of grip for the triples, along with the shape of each hump being very triangular made it more of an obsticle to get it right. in practise and the first round when it was dry, they were good.. but when the track became wet, they were hit and miss (my bj4 with a 9x2 struggled to get over on some occurences !)

Both ways you suggested were tried, in fact with the amount of track time everyone had today they should of been done perfectly, but basically everyone struggled with them. a nice handful of f1 and f2 drivers were in attendance, if these people struggle with it, then the rest surely would id imagine.

a more rounded profile would work well I think, as then the cars will have more momentum for the next jump. or even if the first hump was made bigger and rounder, so the second two can be jumped.

Its all good having home advantage, I know of this being a southport regular, but if it is causing problems for the majority of racers, then surely itd be better to please more people who will then praise the track, rarther than have a few people happy, and more complaints.

I'm only thinking/commenting.. please dont take this as me slagging the section off. it worked well, but it could be improoved if wanted to.

If they are kept, then fair doos as most people will be in the same boat besides a few home f1 drivers.
