Leave T5/T6 alone, please, one of my favorite sets of corners on all the tracks I have raced on. Go ahead and change T8, 40 degrees of banking would be nice. I kind of like T2 but more consistant paving might be nice.
I'm not afraid of change, I welcome it. It will be like having a new track in my backyard.
.... I appreciate making the track safer but the "T1/T2 box" looks lame......
.....How many turn stations do you figure to cover this new configuration (with station-to-station/flag to flag line of sight)?
I think that would be the vote of a LOT of people. Although... looking at this again... I actually sort-of like the new T1 and T2 IF they were to lead into a T3 (not the proposed T3/T4) that was an opening-radius left-hand curve leading into the run to what is currently T3A.However, If they just repaved the current layout and put in FIA curbing where it's needed...and found a way to create a true pit lane area, that would receive my vote.
......I worked that corner (T5) a few times in the early 70's and saw some great racing from a lot of great drivers, including Jody Scheckter, who left many body parts and pieces as he blew thru there as I reecall between the track and the station!
