Yeah gravel trap is always the solution. It isn’t dangerous like a wall if you spin in a high speed corner, and it magically reduces the amount of over the line incidents…
Edit: and in hindsight if gravel would ruin other categories driving there, one could add a special rule about extra harsh time penalties on that specific corner (corner 10) or something, lol.
And I think it’s also not considered safe enough to retrofit gravel traps into places where there are safer solutions (like tarmac run-off)
There are dangers of cars digging in and flipping if I recall.
