My understanding was that all of the changes, which include spectator protection debris fencing alterations at some ppoints and changes in the height of concrete walls and so on, were required by FIA standard for new circuits. This because the original licence had lapsed. For a renewal things would have been accepted as they were.
In terms of spectator access and photographic opportunities ... who knows? The iconic esses photo shot will be no more as it was, though with fences around only those with media accreditation had much chance with it anyway. Some of the other locations are likely to be fairly unusable at this stage if the infield remains fully closed. They may not be great even if it is open given the works carried out.
On the other hand the new esses layout may introduce new viewing and photographic opportunities.
I would guess that +10mph into Redgate and that coinciding with the pit exit might prove interesting in the early days until people become conditioned to the change.
