    Chaps, your little Brooklands gravel pit of love has been replaced by a runoff area.

    The world will never be the same.

    Probably not dude, but its all part of Silverstones on going mission to completely fuck up one of the best classic tracks. Next up they'll be adding circanes to the straights.... oh wait...

    very cool, people are going to be alot crazier on entrys there now, maybe someone will be the first UK backwards entry..

    to be honest if your going in the gravel/new run off area you shouldnt even be drifting at silverstone, theres so much space to correct if you go off line

    i think its a good idea personally, stops all the drifters falling off the track there and making the rest of use wait to go out :)

    I bet it will defo make it more fun :)

    Cool !!

    Its for F1 that they do this as they have realised that in most cases tarmac allows the drivers a chance to recover or slow down more rather than skipping across the top of gravel traps. Not sure how it will affect more normal types af car though.
