As long as layout is same, paint it black or paint it pink.. I don't mind @ allI know its nothing to do with Kunos, but I really dont like the orange and red kerbs at Spa now. I have no idea why they changed it from white and red...?
My love for spa is tainted somewhat by the sanitising of many of the corners in the name of F1 "safety". It's still a great track, but can join a massive list of circuits that have been neutered all in the name of keeping Bernie's playthings visiting one weekend of e year.
They USED to. We'll see in August if they still can do it flat out.Only Formula 1 cars can take Eau Rouge flat out at 300kph.

So far this year they've been discovering "new and unexplored" corners on every track, so I guess we'll see some sliding in sector 2 at Spa. But I just hope the cars generate enough downforce at high speed, to take Eau Rouge or Pouhon just like last year, without much lifting off.
I'm really not enjoying the new formula one honestly. Haven't watched the race today since I'm out of town.
Spa is and will always be one of my favorite tracks. It's mix of medium and high speed corners and amazing elevation change is spectacular. Throw into the mix the always changing weather and it is a gem to see.
@Sodemo I see your point, but I feel that spa is one of the few that still has it's character. A few of the corners have removed some of the race ending penalty but it is still a fearsome track. Also sometimes being forced to slowdown instead of becoming beached is better for the viewers and doesn't waste so much money from the team's having to transport everything to the facility only to have their weekend cut very short from a simple mistake. There aren't any reset buttons in real life lol.
I get home Tuesday afternoon. I have all the races set to record, so I'm forced to avoid anything about the race for two more days lol. Great race and Bahrain in the sentence! Are pigs flying as we type lol!Mate, you're gonna want to watch it! Trust me, it was an absolute cracker of a race!! Seriously, one of the best I've seen in a loooooong time.

I'm conflicted about it personally. Although it seems to allow drivers to not get punished for mistakes I personally don't think F1 had anything to do with the installation of them. Again think if you were a team manager and your race was ended by damage from the gravel. The cost of not finishing and the damage would add up. You wouldn't be so Ken on seeing them still in use.Well that's exactly it. The tarmac run off at Les Combes, Rivage, the no-name turn 11 left hander and Pouhon (which had a huge gravel trap) is largely not necessary, as apart from Pouhon, all were fairly low speed corners, and they don't punish mistakes enough in my opinion. Tarmac run off in general is a plague, I personally hate it.
@Michael Hornbuckle don't rub it in. I'm stuck with a joke of an internet connection and no way of seeing it till Tuesday.
