Re: New Monza layout for 2017

Well, the original plan for this was for it to be used by the motocycle racers and the current layout be kept for the cars. Indeed this original article on the news story here says that, The changes will allow the bike racers - and possibly LMP1 cars during testing - to bypass the first chicane alto...

Re: End of the road for Sauber?

It would be better for Sauber if they returned to Sports cars, they have past experience and it would be a lot cheaper to run. Would anyone else here like to see Sauber run in LMP1 or LMP2?
