They’ve leaned nothing from 20+ Years of being on TV They're not the panacea we think they are though are they, u can't take them off last min cos they are huge, they need to be sealed so water doesn't run underneath in patches, you need to have fantastic drainage on the inside of the track etc etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think the last time that was used was the elite riders championship at Birmingham, it worked well but think H&S stopped it being used, something to do with the amount of big gas bottles or something.
