Well I joked about it and hoped it might happen, but very surprised to actually see it confirmed!

The press releases seem to imply that they will have the 70 foot jump there, which I am very curious about. I wonder if it might be on the straight between the exit of Chessons and the turn in for the Elbow (that would be well placed right in front of the crowd line) but that might be a bit tight in terms of space for a bail out route. Perhaps leading off the chicane and onto the infield?

The ticket price is perhaps a bit steep, but if they can attract some decent UK/European entrants I think that will justify the entry cost. If they are going to market it as a UK/Europe Vs. USA race, then the presence of some of the European Championship regulars is vital.

I will be booking a hotel for the Saturday night this evening!
