New on YT.

For the people who are wondering what all those green strips are next to the race track .....
They sprayed a mixture with grass seeds on it. If you search on YouTube under "Hydroseeding", you can see the execution of the work in multiple videos.

Hydroseeding

Hydroseeding is a technique whereby (grass) seeds, if desired even pre-germinated, are sprayed with a mixture consisting of natural wood fibers and compost under high pressure to form a smooth layer. This layer contains nutrients and adhesives, which means that within a short period of time you will even have a nice grass cover on sloping sandy soil and on steep slopes.

Rapid germination of grass seed

Hydroseeding is often used in situations where rapid germination of the seed is very important, for example in the case of water and wind erosion. In addition, hydroseeding is also widely used in difficult conditions, such as on slopes.

Additionaly central/lounge dune has been planted with Helmgrass.

Elsewhere they obviously used faster tehnique.

Well, let's hope it survives that storm coming over around now (though if Suzuka is still there, why not)

Is that near black rough stuff the final layer of tarmac?

[TEHNOS]

Not yet.

40% increase in speed compared to a flat turn... for a no downforce car! But not for a downforce car.
Edit: Wait, am I getting this right?

[mertol]

40% increase of the max speed they could sustain however even without the banking the turn would have been flat out at say 250km/h now they could go 350km/h if that was possible.

Zandvoort's return is gonna be EPIC.

And i'm sure the battle for P1 will be just as epic, as Max' home GP he will smell blood to get that under his belt,
but then Lewis will DEFINATELY want to get his hands on that GP too......gonna be FIERCE.

So fierce perhaps that they might take eachother out and LeClerc is gonna take it!

I just really hope Max won't get a DNF due to some tech issues or some first lap chaos.

Probably less I think, for a downforce car. If you look at the pic with the arrows, the downforce force will still be on a 90 degree angle with the road, so it won’t “suck” the car to the inside of the corner like its mass does. (It will follow the dark blue arrow)
