Shortcuts on F1 tracks? Bernie Ecclestone’s winding everyone up again | F1 Fanatic - The Formula 1 Blog

Imagine a shortcut which a driver can use five times every race. It would stop people getting stuck behind others. It would be good for TV.

Erm wut?

[ResLo]

Shocking idea.

[insidious]

is it that bad? i think it would make it more interesting

[Wrathlon]

You would effectively have 2 lanes of merging traffic for one, that won't end well, think pit lane exit but at race speeds and when you're right in amongst the pack.

So what you're saying is theres a chance of more fiery esplosions.

So whats the problem again? :p

"Shortcuts" as a real-racing concept is stupid. This isn't fucking Mario Kart.

Yes, it will cause more crashes. But only the bogans want that. The real fans want to see real racing.

awesome idea, except the shortcut has to be on a dirt track

[OverDrive]

Rocket launchers on the front and oil slick dispensers on the back please.

We should really put a proposal together for Bernie. He'd eat this shit up.

Yes, it will cause more crashes. But only the bogans want that. The real fans want to see real racing.

Then they should watch MotoGP or WSBK, not F1.
