The shimmy between 18 and 19 was the most noticeable on the Yamahas and Suzukis, the Ducs, KTMs, Aprillas didn't seem to be impacted as much, as least, from the spectator perspective.

They also had a hell of a flood a few years back the weekend after a torrential downpour on F1 weekend. I would not be surprised if that had a negative impact.

I'm guessing it's both. Aint no F1 cars running around Putnam and the bumps into t2 (and pretty much all corners when in the "car" line) were serious.

The 2.0-liter internal combustion four-cylinder engine was also massaged for higher performance, with the tweaks netting an additional 220 horsepower on top of the stock 500 for a total of 720 horsepower.

ESPN’s rebroadcast of Sky Sports F1’s UK coverage is more than fine. It’s also commercial free for the balance of the season so I’d just DVR it if it’s not watchable live.
