No more pictures of the underside of a Porsche coming under the bridge.

An era is over.

Looks like it's still a fun track though.

Um, it's fun, but different. I ran it with the new chicane instead of west bend. It's two hard rights and a hard left. My personal preference is west bend - I love that turn so much. The chicane makes the downhill much slower (and safer), and it will allow the high HP cars to pull away even more on the straight, whereas before the Mini could catch up there thanks to all of the momentum you could build up.

I haven't experienced the new uphill chicane.

Besides that, the weirdest part of the track now is that you're not navigating the concrete patches like before. Oh, and it's VERY smooth. No more bounce at all.
