I would flip the joker lane around so they re enter the track at the sand section
It will be fine.
The Shop
1- No rider will ever forget to take a short cut/cheater line if there is one available. As it stands, no rider is willing to give up track position and fall back into the clutches of everyone so they all wait to the last lap and we see no real change in the race at all.
2- Provides an opportunity to pass. On a track like we generally see at the Monster Cup there is next to no passing. Get a bad start, that's where you stay. Having a short cut gives you a Fast and the Furious NOS type boost to get a bit of track position early if you're a top guy with a bad start, or to make a pass and sprint for free track if you're faster than the immediate opposition.
But hey, there's so much tradition and history revolving around this race, I understand why they are hesitant to change anything when it works so well already
Unless you kept it closed until lap 5 or so, then the leaders would most likely use it right away.
The way it is now allows someone mid pack to use it early when they are stuck in the pack and then blast past later in the race. Similar to how Tomac won a moto there in 2013.
Maybe there could be two joker lanes, one long, one short, and heck even a third one with a shark pit and a ring of fire.
As if F1 "DRS Zones" weren't stupid enough.
I don't remember the tomac situation you're talking about but the joker lane has pretty much only affected the outcome of the race if someone forgets to use it at this stage.
Pit Row
Wave a half way flag signal over the finish and the have some stuff light around the Joker lane shortcut to signal it as "open". The last half of the race guys start using it and if there are visual cues, it would make it a simple, exciting deal.
i bet they removed them because they heard Herlings was gonna be Gajser's replacement!!
I'm sure it will be safe there not stupid
Joker lane works much better as a 'short cut'
