Tarmac, I think it was originally done for the bikes. I had the same concerns as you. I've seen a lot of time where a car runs wide at the corner and either gets stuck in the gravel trap causing a yellow/safety car, or continues and drags gravel back onto the track. The tarmac should help in that instance but won't help if a car goes straight on and into the tyre wall. I think the barrier has been pushed back slightly (wasn't it a walkway behind it?) but not by much.
