  7. Atleast they generally use proper tarmac in Europe (bar Cartagena who like to paint the track black)

    msv tarmac is made out of wd40, Vaseline and essence of chip shop floor

  11. The new surface is excellent! It’s just very abrasive At the moment! Hopefully F1 and moto gp will smooth it out a bit!

  12. Quite the opposite. F1 will be adding bumps like the ride on a Sandy beach!

  14. It'll be better after, at least less abrasive. Silverstone was the same after the re resurface. Hope to get to PM next year, after the f*ck up that 2020 has been.
