A lot of these circuits were built when the safety requirements weren't as stringent as they are today.<br>And there are always odd instances and variations: gravel traps, though a brilliant and proven method of slowing cars down, don't always work: I've seen cars hit the traps at a slightly odd angle and just get airborne. Runoff areas are of little use when a car suffers a suspension failure or severe tire blowout: steering doesn't respond... it's never cut and dry when it comes to making circuits safer. That's why the engineers make the cars as safe as possible.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Franz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 28th 2008 1:21PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
