Last time I looked the dam between 3 and 6 was slowly being filled in.
And the fence on the outside of turn 3 is armco, behind a mile of gravel trap.
And the dam at the outside of turn 8, gone years ago, wall pushed back and flagpoint moved.
I'd like to know which certain driver almost ended up in the drink. Although it would be possible to reach the tyre wall near FP 2.6 if the throttle stuck open and the brakes and brain failed coming into turn one. Perhaps a 1 in a 500,000 chance....you can argue the odds if you wish.
Seriously, when was the last time some of you looked at the place? Yes, there's still earth filled tyre walls but there's also many air filled and belted tyre walls as well.
Could the owners do more? Yes. Without doubt they could. But they have never stopped improving the place either.
