Or could the area on the outside of the turn be made a run-off area like the one created at McPhillamy Park rather than a brick wall?

I've read somewhere (maybe Speedcafe?) someone's suggestion to chop down a few trees near the apex just after the grate, which I think combined with moving the wall back driver's left may improve the visibility around the corner in a sightline they are already focused on, potentially removing some of the dependence on the flaggies for safety. Not sure how much would be required in terms of earthworks
Moving the wall back on driver's right I think removes the challenge of one of the best corners requiring the highest level of commitment to get it right, and fast.
