If there hadn't have been an accident the other week, would this have been being talked about? The drivers didn't threaten a boycott or anything in the wake of the Mark Porter accident, so obviously they are happy to race it in it's current configuration
They aren't putting sandtraps on the outside of Turn 2 at Indianapolis after Bourdais' accident there last year, or making any modifications at all, why do we need to put any in at Bathurst. This is motor racing, crashes happen.

There is also now no penalty when a driver pushes too hard over Skyline, they just straightline down the tarmac run-off and keep going
