The last thing you'll want to do it move it closer to the rostrum, there will be less in your peripheral vision so your going to be less likely to see a marshal attending a car. Move it further away and get rid of the cross over!
I don't agree with the WRC statement, whenever I watch it and the cars hit a 'jump' they look so out of control, i think its simply luck more than anything else that they dont all end up fliping! There is no skill in a feature like that, you simply hit it flat out and hope for the best!
With a properly built jump, to get it right you have to learn a lot of things, the ideal speed to carry into it, when to punch the throttle to preload the buggy to get air, when to brake to get the nose in for the downslope. Unfortunately a lot of people do think its a simple case of hit as hard as you can and clear the jump, and thats were the problems come from.
Marshals need to have some common sense as well, every good marshal wants to get to a crashed buggy as soon a possible but you need to be safe, and if there are a load of buggies coming over a jump, you just wait, regardless of if some idiot on the rostrum is shouting at you..
How about lowering the height of the jump so that the angle of the take off is shallower? should make it easier to jump and not make the car fly so as high! You only have to make it 4m wide it can be any height/length you want!
