I was up at the track most of yesterday, watching and helping out.
Turn one (counterclockwise) is MUCH better.
The dogleg coming off the old back straight (counterclockwise) that used to trow you around before a hard right-hander is now very smooth – provided you stay off the berms.
The concrete and asphalt at the transition from the back straight to the uphill to widowmaker still needed work and this was being discussed when I left last night.
Something to keep in mind and words to the wise – as with IMI after its smoothing last year, the newly smoothed ares at Bandimere are going to be green and slippery. Becuase they are smoother now than they were a few days ago people will be tempted to take these areas faster. Because there is little in the way of rubber on the smoothed areas, and a bit of residual dust there will be tendency for karts to get loose in these areas. This will improve with time and rubber.
