Hi drivers,
Attached is the layout for AS7. Nothing too fancy, though I have tried to close up the gaps around the "run off areas" at the end of the front straight and the straight following the hairpins, in an effort to keep people from going out of bounds. I think that if you get slowed down a little bit, these will keep you in bounds. If you hit them full speed you'll get launched, but then you would have been out of the race anyway.
If anyone has any issues with these barriers, please bring them up before Thursday. I encourage teams to test some crash situations and carefully consider the results before posting opinions one way or the other.
Thanks!
