I've always wondered how they relay track safety info to the drivers. Are there "corner stations" with flags and all? I thought it would be cool if they had portable gizmos all drivers must install in their vehicles that are GPS based and receive signals with such info - yellow flags, black flags(though kinda moot on this track), red flags, debris, etc... When you reach a certain location you are alerted. Of course someone has to relay that info... Cameras perhaps?

I have some contacts at the track will get the inside on this one and give a report back what happened other then what was reported btw just FYI should any of you venture there make sure fully opt in for all of the track insurance just 1ft of the barrier fence is 1,000 Euro's to replace it.

So they actually have workers out there performing repairs while the track is open?! Couldn't pay me enough to work on that track if that's the case.
