Getting only the first 2-3 rows formed up for the start has been normal at Long Beach for ages. Given just how slow that hairpin is, the only proper fix would be to extend the corner further toward the intersection with Ocean so that they have more straight before the start/finish line.
Long Beach and St. Petersburg aren't that dissimilar on average lap speed. If anything, the carpark section at St. Pete is tighter/more confined than the one at Long Beach. Unfortunately, I don't think the link road is there anymore; otherwise, I'd suggest going back to the 1999 layout to improve the racing. Putting that aside, I think they should do like CART had it, and not have the curbing at Turn 4. |
