    I have a feeling someone going to rejoin by going over the grass, entering the track basically at a right angle. Not convinced that was a good idea.

      It looks like there are fences attached to it so something must be there. If it was just TechPro then a car crashing into it would just go across the track with the whole TechPro with it.

      I’m very curious what would happen if someone crashed into it:

      • Concrete? Break the racer’s back?
      • Techpro? Shove the barrier onto the track and cause an onslaught?

      Not that I think this is likely. Their approach in probably doesn’t lend itself to that. But hey I can pretend it’s NASCAR all I want.

    What would have been the problem with adding some bollards you have to drive around? Same result but less risk someone ends in the wall. And also no need to reverse onto the racetrack

    I’m too stupid to know how it really changed, can somebody paint me a picture with big red arrows and Dora the Explorer?

      There was a tweet that had three pictures on it that illustrated. The last one was the old config if I recall.

      So basically they squashed the ability to cut the track and rejoin, you’d in theory have to turn around if you get run off or overshoot.

    It will definitely stop lap 1 shenanigans at least. I guess in the race if you get forced it’s kind of shitty, but maybe more incentive to keep your foot in rather than bail at the first sign of being squeezed? Hopefully we have decent stewarding this weekend, if anyone does get forced off there.
