Speed Demon should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
True enough, cutting away the banking to make a road for a supermarket is sacrilege - but it did at least highlight the circuit's existance to the general public, who may have had no idea that a racing circuit was ever there. You can see from the Motor Sport track test that it also highlights how steep the banking was.

Who knows, perhaps this was in part the reason the remaining circuit was protected? Something had to be destroyed to make the authorities sit up and take notice of the rest.
