Track limit sensors
They've come up with the idea of having sensors to police the track limits .
At first glance , with all the drivers using more than the track really allows if they are given the slightest chance , it looked like a good idea , and thus , rules were applied to keep them in , and now sensors .
Several drivers , including Zo and Bunsen have said it's a good idea , but Seb has a different take .
The tracks now have all pretty much changed to a standard curbing system , at great expense .
The curbs are designed to punish those crossing the limits on the outside of a curve , destabilizing the car , losing it time , making it an undesirable place to go .
Logically , if one was using a system to alter the driver's habits , one might think of adding more curbing , or changing the profile to make them more severe , to achieve the desired effect , applying the same tools .
He didn't explain very well , but it's what I believe he was getting at .
Why bother with curbing at all if you are going to have electronic limits ?
He'd rather they do some redesigning of the tracks , so the curbing is sufficient .
I agree .
Maybe if they're lucky, but I think it'll take a lot of work for them to catch the Racing Bulls without Max! :)
