I only use a detector (allegedly officer) when traveling above the posted limit. -:)

Apologies to Steve if you were using laser instead of radio waves sarcasm…

JV – I think you might need to check the batteries in your sarcasm detector…

Steve: No, no and almost no.

Spa: has been in use since 1922 – designed in 1920 by Jules de Their and Henri Langlois Van Ophem and ran around public roads until 1983. After 83 the course ran on non-public sections and redevelopment took place in 2004 at the bus stop and further changes took place in 2006 and again in 2010.

Laguna Seca: (Mazda Raceway): Built in 1927, rebuilt in 1988 and some addtional work done in 2006.

Monza (Autodromo Nazionale Monza) opened in 1922 and was a combined oval and road course until the oval part of the course was abandoned after the 1969 season. There have been many changes to the track, too many to list here. The only connection Tilke had with Monza was reprofiling turn one in concert with another engineering group.

Read up on him first before you assign him track designs he had little to do with.

Didn’t Tilke design Spa, Laguna Seca, and Monza?

As ever, ironing out all the good corners/tracks. Sigh.

Raw talent is there -schooling and maturing of it, Sauber can provide. It would be great for Gutierrez to get a 3-year dev program there.
