The big bump was going into the Halfords Hairpin where there was a major step over the camber in the road surface just at the braking point. Many of the F3000s were briefly airborne over it, and Jean-Denis Delatraz's rear suspension failed on landing on the first lap (1989?). They added a tyre barrier to the inside to force the cars away from the worst part, but this sadly ruined the overtaking opportunity. It also got demolished several times as TVRs and Fiestas seemed to be attracted to it.
