Spa changes

[LaSarthe&Back]

Has the Bus stop been replaced by a chicane??

Any other changes? I know Eau Rouge is unchanged.

Some photos on this thread to show what's been done, during & after the changes.

We were there in june. the bus stop has gone and has been replaced with a right left chicane. good for over taking but the problem is the pit entry is all most blind and very very tight.

Motors TV have sports cars from Spa on now.

Looks a very tight corner onto the pit straight.

i heard a few months ago that the pit lane was really narrow at places, after some GPDA guys went to have a look and complained that it looked unsafe? looks like nothing has been done about it...

YEah that's what I was watching. Though it looked strange, especially as they had only modified it a couple of years ago.

Thought they modified it last year/this year?

TV coverage wasn't that good so I'm not 100% sure exactly what the bus stop looks like.

Loved CK/MC shout at the director to get back to the racing

Shame they don't seem to have done anything about the drainage. From seeing all the rivers across the track in the 24 hour race, it seems a bigger priority than changing the bus stop.

We raced there with Nobbys a couple of months ago and can confirm his points regarding overtaking at the Bus Stop and the pit lane entry. You think it looked narrow on the telly yesterday, its actually been widened by a metre or two since we raced there!

La Source has also been opened up, and given more run off area - much needed when races are starting on the GP start.

that is nuts - the track coming right back on itself just for a 100yards or so - Stupid.
