If it's not the same track, or even using the same combination of features then I don't see the harm in it personally.
I can understand why he wouldn't want people to be running the same corners or even the tricky features especially any combination jumps though.
Ardent is a slightly strange surface. The carpet seems to vary in grip around the lap so a chance for people to get used to the grip level, especially those who have travelled from far away, might just help them enjoy the event.
For example the main reason I intend to never walk through the doors of Worksop again is that there is a MASSIVE 'home advantage' there, it's like nowhere else grip wise so unless you can go there regularly enough to experiment your at such a huge disadvantage you might as well not go at all. Although Ardent isn't as bad as that it's certainly not your typical monster grip traction roll fest carpet track .... and all the better for it in my opinion!
Might be a few frowny faces from people who have booked extra nights in hotels and days off work on the promise of track time if it doesn't happen too.
Just my 2ps worth
