It looks as though the barrier is going to be moved a long way back.<BR> <BR> This was where Mario went off last year (after a puncture), but he kept it altogether and ran across the grass on the inside of Indianapolis. Marc Laffeas reminds us that Yannick Dalmas had a major incident at PQ in 1999 here.<BR> <BR> This section is preceded by the fastest part of the circuit, the Audis reaching nearly 330 kph last June. There are strong indications that one brave fellow in a red car wasn’t even touching the brakes for the right kink here last year – just a slight lift, then very hard on the brakes for Indianapolis proper. Perhaps this is the reason for the widening of the run-off. If something goes wrong here, the public enclosures are (were) very close.<BR> <BR> Jo Bonnier was a victim of this section of track in 1972.<BR> </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>
