    Do tell - you are talking about "the" corner right? Have they given it positive camber the whole way around now? Did anybody take any pics?

    Looked the same as I remember it when i slowed to look back at it on my way through a couple of weeks ago. I was going the wrong way to get the crash perspective of it though, hence the bit 'look back at it'.

    Well I may have been mistaken - I have been once or twice before- but it definitely looked better than the last few times I've been thru. You got me doubting myself now - maybe it hasn't changed...

    I don't know, I'd be more sure if I was going in the Northern direction, but if it has changed it just didn't look like a significant one to me.

    It seems to have a bit of camber but hasn't changed since the DB '09.
