Aww. They were starting to give it some character. Where exactly did they smooth it out?

Nice, that one before 12 lifted me off my seat in the GT4. Did they just grind it down or did they have to patch it?

I did not like the big bump between 10 and 11 that developed. Not in the braking zone but bad.

The wet fall seemed to make things pretty bad, I think some water got under it. I'm guessing they will need to resurface the parts that were ground down for the F1 race.

Not sure when they'll do it, the calendar is pretty jam packed.

I see it as both a pro and a con. Mostly a pro. But yeah, was kind of inserting some interesting character. I guess I can just go to Harris Hill for "character."
