I ran TH with the new changes (more run-off after turn 8, between 12 and 13 and between 14 & 15). The wider run-off after turn 8 makes it far less stressful to hammer through there at triple digit speeds and the wider track inbetween 12 and 13 allows you to almost run a straight line from 11 to 13. 14 & 15 changes helped a little too, but out of habit I was apexing too late in 14 to take advantage of the extra runoff.

I lowered my fastest time by over 2 seconds a lap, but I'm not sure how much (if any of it) was due to me and how much of it was due to the new configuration. Has anyone else who's run the track recently notice a similar decrease in lap times?

 

Honda Challenge guys were dropping a least a second with the new changes.

 

I wasn't timing, but it must be a second or two faster -- especially in t. 11-13. The T'Hill folks said the new asphalt wasn't to be part of the normal track, but it's hard to resist in that spot.

 

Yeah. I hear them also complaining that the asphalt they used was not rated for constant use. What do you expect racers to do, not use the all the track they can.
