They should use the "Fosters" version again. Cut out the whole Island / Shell Oils completely.

The shortest version gave great battles, and meant Knickerbrook didn't need the chicane and was flat-out again (albeit from a slower start than pre-1991!). Cascades was a different beast too , having to straighten up on a bumpy dip to brake into a tight right hander, always provoked mistakes.

Also, it would mean more laps - and therefore more action for spectators.

I'm sure the reason why they don't use it is because they can't fit as much spectators in.
