Personally I think astro has a bigger effect on whether the track is enjoyable to drive on or not.
In the dry there is mega grip, with minimal room for error such is the level of grip, making us tippy toe around, only for the next little rut to catch you out completely. Equally when it all goes wrong the crashes seem bigger and more things end up broken. While in the wet the complete opposite is true, facing the wrong direction at the slightest hint of accelerating a milli second too early or late.
Which ultimately has lead to the myriad of cars, conversions and electrical layouts available to the racer today. Which talking to the new comers at my local club and region is more off putting than any large jump.
On the subject of jumps, if they are done well with a sensible landing then they can make a great feature in a track, but I have no enjoyment in launching my car 6 feet in the air only for the chassis to slap the ground and half the electrics come unstuck in every race.
