It's really hard to make sense of the shilling for the new owners here because in a given article there's like multiple definitions for "runoff", none of which seem to mean "room to not hit a wall". It's still particularly funny they make a big deal out of how they didn't change turn 9 to maintain the tradition and integrity of the track, by which they mean they're adding a new layout to completely change turn 9 that will be used by anything that matters rather than doing anything about the safety issues with the current layout. I hope that awful chicane between turn 1 and 2 isn't considered an integral part of the new pro course at least. There's also something seriously fucked up about how the copypasta of the worst version of the Barcelona infield rejoins the old track in this model.

The track isn't really short enough they needed to add 0.7m of infield to it anyways (particularly with the other lap time extenders) and it's not like they really needed more simultaneous tracks.
