Yes, they needed about 15 more cars (or more)circulating for the roundabout=

But overall it=E2=80=99s a plus for roundabouts. Shows they are better than=

I watched that a few weeks ago and felt that it was a disservice towards ro=

undabouts. The roundabout won, and it was an entertaining show, but the rou=

ndabouts is not saturated at all time (the way it looked to me). The rounda=

bout should have won with a bigger margin.  Does anybody agree?
