After official communication from the MotoGP.com website, here is a photo of the last corner of the Austrian circuit, whether it is called 10 or 9, depending on who you talk to.
This photo, which we owe to our friend Gilles Bigot (team Garage Plus and CarXpert Interwetten) is more telling, because we can clearly see the narrowing made when exiting the bend.
In certain places, the width of the track has been reduced by 4 meters compared to the previous configuration but, if we consider that we can drive on the curb marked by red and white, this reduction then falls to 3 meters .
The times will nevertheless necessarily be a little slower because you will have to reduce the speed to avoid being carried beyond the curb.
Thanks to Gilles Bigot!
Note that at a press conference, Valentino Rossi declared that he considered turn #8 (or 9 if this one is 10) to be more dangerous than this one…
