Changes confirmed at Austin aimed at avoiding repeat of last year's track limits problems
United States Grand Prix organisers have made a series of revisions to the Austin circuit to try to help reduce track limits problems, Motorsport.com has learned. With the Circuit of the Americas venue being resurfaced for this year, the opportunity was there to address issues that cropped up at last year’s race with drivers abusing the white lines at the edge of the circuit.
A change has also been made at the exit of Turn 11, the tight left-hander on to the back straight. This had previously been an asphalt run off area with 'turtle bumps' on the exit, but it has now been fitted with a resin-bound gravel filled insert. This ‘fake gravel’ is something that was pioneered at Zandvoort several years ago to act as a deterrent for drivers, but not risk loose stones being brought back on to the track.
