Barcelona modifactions

[tinchote]

I hate it when they modify circuits, because you lose the comparison with previous years

[andreag]

You loose it too when they change the tyre rule, when they change qualify system, when they change from V10 to V8, when they change aero rules, or brakes, or traction control, or .... ; in other words, comparation is lost when FIA decide to change anything.

Isn't Melbourne the only unchanged circuit on the calendar? I think it has been the same now for 12 years. That should give some comparision.

[VresiBerba]

I guess it's cheaper to keep modifying circuits than it is for the FIA to actually do something about aero on the cars themselves

Not to mention impossible as long as the concept of Concorde Agreement is in effect.

It's good. F1 cars couldn't follow closely onto the straight because of the turbulence with the old design. This design should allow them to come onto the straight much closer to each other, meaning we should see some more overtaking at the first corner.

How????

Last corner is still 5th gear after the drivers tested, so they are still fast and won't get any extra passing done.

Its not been done to aid overtaking, its been done for safety. Once again the idiots have ruined a decent-ish track.
