I was having a great time until Oly nobbled my soup. Ban him please.

I thought the layout was better, putting the loop in essentially lenghtens the overall track and adds more corners rather than just point and shoot driving down a long straight within the tight confines of the space we have.

As for the slightly earlier start - yes, I prefered it. It meant you got a chance to actually tweeak the car rather than just:

Race
Drop car off on table
Marshall
Swap batteries into car and put others onto charge
Race

I've always found that didn't give much time at all to adjust or try to improve the car
