NHMS gets a new chicane

Posted in Motorsports Events by Noah on July 24th, 2009

So I was up at NHMS yesterday running with Ian Prout and the SCDA. You may recall from my last day up at NHMS that I said they were doing construction through the Turn 1-2 chicane. Well, that construction is complete, and that whole section is now completely different.

Turn 1 now has a curbing on the inside that forces you to go much deeper into the corner then before. That means you need to slow WAY down before hitting 2a as that whole section is a lot tighter. The idea was probably to slow people down through that section, and sadly that seems to be the reality of the new curbing. ’tis ashame, as Corner 1 used to be one of my favorite corners around.

Look for some footage through there over the next few days…
