The FIA does not and never has had track regulations. What it has are track guidelines (or a code) and experienced, qualified inspectors and a risk assessment system that allows those qualified inspectors to assess risk and permit tracks that might not comply with every last part of the guidelines or code. That is OK though as the guidelines are just that - a guide, not absolutes.
Bathurst does not meet the minimum track width guideline in parts coming down off the mountain, but the land is not there behind the walls to physically widen the track and the improvements in various items of safety assist the risk assessment.
