Nothing out the norm on facilities and you get a OK view from the terrace. But with a child I would pay for the first bend stand as you get the best view up higher. Its all seated. Loads of parking. It will be busy so expect a queue for food and drink. Take your own. There may be extra stands for the SWC. I enjoyed going there.
If my memory is right Dackarma used to be a great track. Awful tonight. But Woffy riding like a Champion, he looked very fast. Porky making plenty of noise.
Someone has to come bottom to 3rd bottom. Doesn't mean they are not in the best 15 riders. In an 8 man Olympic Final someone comes last despite being in the top 8 in the world.
Top 5 might pull a little way clear but I would expect 5th to 15th to be pretty close with two GP's to run.
The GP Challenge is needed to give everyone a chance but I'm not sure how you can improve the 2017 line up. Maybe losing Lindback wouldn't be a huge loss, but even he is a real racer who can be exciting, so we'll be in danger of losing 3 good riders for 3 not so good who get places through the GP Challenge.
