From about 7mins on some of the drops off the edge are like going off the side of the world. And what about a lack of marshals? If you fell off in some of them places help would take a long time getting to you.
How are you supposed to remember all them turns, so many look the same!

Oh, come on, there's only 157 corners,
in 11 minutes :shock:

Hope to take the F2 there next year. See if we can be competitive with half the displacement. ;)

I was speaking with Ken Kyler who has competed their a couple of times and he mentioned that in the few corners that had some guard rail, any error on an sidecar would result in a trajectory that would completely miss the guard rail. His advice was don't make any errors.
