Re: Track limits poll

Nordschlife style curbs around the whole circuit to define the track limits.
They are the curbs that will cause the car to bottom out and discourage the drivers from going over the curb.

How to control track limits.
Nordschlife style curbs around the whole circuit.

https://images.app.goo.gl/SwhHZXA9oa4H1J3E9

If the car goes wide. They bottom out on the curbs.
Sausage curbs just don't cut it as a preventative measure to sort out track limits.

The image above shows this.

It's not the circuit. It's the cars.

Reduce the length by 150cm to 250cm long and reduce the width by 50cm to 150cm wide.

The sad thing is that Neils witich (however you spell his name) is the race director of the WEC series. A series which alot of us respect his race direction and a race director who was no nonsense and would not take any rubbish.

Only driving speedboats in the harbour. During that downpour you'd have aquaplaning at which point skill has nothing to do with it.
