Have they started paving over Zandvoort's sand/gravel traps yet?
Few negative camber corners too. Last edited by wnut; 29 Nov 2019 at 08:58. |

The last thing we need is more arguments about track limits

I was Hoping that Mr Tilke and asphalt monkey ltd don't get a chance to ruin yet another circuit, they were also very anti reverse camber corners. Have to wonder why the barrier is reflexed on the entry to Scheivlak, it would have been more logical to just keep it going straight through. |

This looks like a pic of the current circuit pre alterations?

I found this web site belonging to KWS the company undertaking the works before the GP.
https://www.kws.nl/nl/nieuws/detail/...-volkerwessels From the pictures it seems that the tar runoff is restricted to the end of the main straight. They will also be reconstructing the pits, a new medical centre, the paddock, widening sections of the circuit and some pedestrian underpasses. On the whole they seem to be sticking with the gravel sand runoffs - which is a very good idea in my opinion. |

The circuit looks really good, one of the more exciting in the championship, setting up a car should be a good challenge.
It is going to be interesting to see how the Pirelli tyres stand up to the banking in turn 3 and the final corner, 18 degrees is a pretty steep bank for an F1 and should lead to very heavy loadings on the tyres. Looks like they are keeping the gravel traps too. Last edited by wnut; 3 Jan 2020 at 23:34. |

Track length looks reasonable too? Has it been extended slightly or is that just the aerial impression?

It’s good to see money being spent on new infield / paddock access tunnels. Just hope they don’t flood if it rains heavily! Just think, one pedestrian tunnel at Silverstone was all that was needed when they spent that money on the new layout and Wing..... |

Piling. They would have either piled it or used something called vibroflotation.

Tell me about it! Will be interesting to find out what the support vehicle access tunnel clearance height(s) are. The area is well known for low bridge heights, which has meant access for some trucks in the past needed careful planning.

saw this pic on reddit the other day.
https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/co...ion_estimated/ i thought Vietnam was supposed to be a street curcuit but this looks purpose built no? street roads being converted to a proper permanent race track? more likely i was just got it wrong that it was supposed to be a street circuit? |
