The new left - right will mean that motorcyclists will approach the hairpin rather slower than under the present layout - and they'll have more run-off too.<BR> <BR> Work will commence next month.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
