Strange idea to have to reverse out. Rejoining a racetrack like that is...weird.

The angle of the picture here makes it look much more like a trap for wayward cars than it actually is. You'd have to really cut the corner to end up trapped by the new barrier. See this other angle.

Oh that makes a lot more sense. Cheers!

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.

Does it have gravel? I'm asking for friend🇪🇸

is it just a TechPro barrier? I hope there's no concrete behind :O

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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.
