They should put TECPRO in that corner, that usually keeps the car in place instead of catapulting it back on track

Exactly. Something, that when hit, the car gets sucked in. It's better to be buried than bounced.

That's good idea. The only bad thing I can think of is that most of the races will be Red Flagged since TecPro needs a lot more attention and can be destroyed easilly

I wonder if FRECA will have a knee-jerk reaction and install 1994 kind of fake chicane there.


how about changing the wall and making it parallel to the track and not at the Swede Savage angle

This would be the best solution, however there’s a big drop/hillside on the other side of that barrier. It would need a lot of work and I believe it was deemed to expensive

About gravel, they did actually put forward a concept with gravel in that area prior to the renovations in 2020, but it was shot down by the FIA. Not sure on what grounds though

Well the FIA might rethink that now this track limits debate has been pushed onto the tracks to sort out with gravel traps (quite right too imo)

The top of Radillion is a very scary piece of road, there's forces working in all directions on every vehicle that goes through there. Even the tiniest of changes in weight transfer for whatever reason will result in a big crash.

If the "drop" can't be fixed, use some super high abrasive asphalt to slow the cars down like what they have at Paul Ricard.

Totally forgot the Regional race, but fortunately it's been delayed by 1 hour. So start in 15 minutes.

That was as close to a hollywood films depiction of racing as you'd get in real life

Cars off on the inside, outside, sliding through the grass, oversteering and airbournes off kerbs lol

No replay of it though.. :roll:

Race to end under SC? Noah Strømsted wins in that case.
NO! Camara takes the lead.
