I am told mike rand had something to do with the redesign at the end of the
straight. I expect unlike big bend there will be harder braking and harder
acceleration coming out of the turn vs the hard braking and double apex of big
bend but should be fun in our little lightweight cars ;)))

escape road and much less run off area.
