Very true, the halo looks rubbish but it works & that's all that matters. | | | |

Plastic "sausage" kerb bolted down onto track - to prevent drivers exceeding track limits for advantage. Basically, go over them, they rattle the car, like a minimal speed bump. Paraboliica corner used to have gravel instead - slow car down, better chance of going into the wall. Removed gravel, so a run off area with sausage kerbs to slow drivers down.. If a slower F3 cardoes that, would be worse with a F1 car. The offending kerb has now been removed from the track, in practise, qualifying any drivers exceeding the limits have that laps time deleted. | | | |

Ah, couldn’t see the sausage kerb. I’ve watched F1 for 25 years but ta for the explanation. | |

Yes it can flip single seaters, but I think it needs to be brought back...albeit sensibly. It can cause a mess on the track but it’s usually minimal. Would sort out this track limits madness too. | |

I agree about gravel traps, the negatives are more safety cars because of cars stuck & they do cause rollers but overall i think it's a better solution. A big part of the problem is that circuit & kerb designs that are ideal for cars are unsuitable for bikes unfortunately | | | |
