Silverstone change for 2017

[J.Clark]

I have been searching for the article and video to no avail; however, I imagine some of you may be better at that than I.

The video was a release on the changes at Silverstone for this season's race.  I seems they have been repaving parts of the circuit in preparation for the cars running in the anti-clockwise direction going forward.

That should make it a very different circuit to drive.  It will be different for significant reasons in my estimation.  Turn 1 for example will become a 180 left hander, which ends in a 90 to the right.  Hanger straight will end with a gentle right that leads to a harder left (Becketts) into the esses.

I hope one of you can find the video, as it had some good technical information about the change in black-top.

I'm hoping the re-paving will help me get a personal best on my run there next month

Interesting posts; however, nothing about the anti-clockwise running direction.  I think it must have been an April Fools day joke.

I will say one thing about it.  It was a lot of production effort.

I liked the little "You'd be a fool to miss it" at the end.
