Madring’s centrepiece is the first in the world to use the evolution of Geobrugg’s Mobile Debris Fence and Smith Fence SAFER barrier for its ‘La Monumental’ corner

    While I appreciate the safety engineering that went into the barrier, I think the wall is too close to the track limit. There’s no room for error for the drivers.

      Depends on the line used really. No different to street tracks though.

        I have the same safety concerns about street tracks.

          The Saudi one is the one that scares me.

    Looking forward to it This preview video with Sainz did suggest it could be a good one for racing!

    Looks too narrow to be relatively safe in case of an accident. I hope I’m wrong and there won’t be a massive pile up because nobody can dodge wrecked cars
