We do have to remember that the curbs are so shaved down at the Ford Chicanes and the Dunlop Chicane because of the Moto GP bikes--the same reason as for that stupid "S" curve from Dunlop to the Esses. Only way that you'll get rid of the shaved curbs is to get rid of Moto GP from LM, which I don't see happening. Of course, the ACO nor the FIA have a big problem with it--they'd have done something more major than the baguettes inside of the main curbs otherwise.
We also have to remember that the FIA's rule is that two wheels must be outside of the inside white line--something that the spirit of for sure is violated by every driver at LM at Ford and Dunlop. But until something is done to discourage drivers from doing the curb cutting--like making it an disadvantage to bounce off a curb--it's going to keep happening.
We can complain about it all we want, but I doubt that it'll make the ACO's and the FIA's ears ring to the point where they appease us or even other drivers who want the old curbs to return to those areas of the track. They're also a reason why the 3:30 barrier has been broken, along with the re-profiling of Tetre Rouge.
