      The downsides are that it’s difficult to avoid those areas and touching the barriers will often cause a red flag.

        If we use gravel then even enough of that coming on the track could trigger a red flag. TechPro walls look like a better solution than gravel.

        The main issue is the intransigence of the drivers. I say put grass there for the F1 race every year and then pave it over for the other series. The track owners can send the yearly bill to the GPDA.

          I heard in the French commentary that gravel isn’t an option because the track is shared with moto GP and their regs call for a minimum of 5m of asphalt on those turns.
