I recall the photos form when the even was mainly inside the track.

I think that changed, or started to change, somewhere in the Gillett period around the time the MotoX track was created. Then other 'developments' took place that extended the potential for hard standing (of sorts) in the paddock area (even before it was tarred over) although the Formula E buildings development slightly impinged on that.

Camping and car parking arrangements seem to have evolved over the years too.

Must be a bit chaotic this weekend and for any events on during the week although in past years the tidy-up activity after the event is usually quite rapid. Just a few days.
