Default feedback on new grid markings

hello after some feedback on what people think of the grid markings being moved back down the straight did it cause more crashes where every one is carrying alot more speed into the first bend i have made the first bend bigger all ready which seems to work ok so let me know what you think cheers martin

I think the grid spaces are about right,not many crashes on the 1st corner that I saw. There may be more speed but you can be smooth and take more time to get around the corner rather than accelerating from a short grid from the start straight into the corner which causes crashes. There will always be some incidents on the 1st corner once in a while(as long as it isn't every time) which it isn't so I would leave it. Good job Martin!.

Here Here, i thought the track was great, end of straight corner was widened which helped alot of committed people and made for some awesome close racing in the finals. I was watching the 2wd B final from that corner and it was a fantastically close race lap after lap.
Shame, i can't do the track justice.....

Much better... the first corner was still a challenge to get through, but you could get through cleanly and make some places with out it getting too 'bargy', definitely an improvement!

I know I done the grid with you mate, but still would like to give my feedback. I personally agree with many others it felt like people where entering first corner with more control and awareness of other cars. From what races I was watching and from the race i was in the start lap seemed far cleaner than previous grid positions.

I have to agree the car were more spaced out an you had time to pick your line and get out the way of the other cars if they did crash also made it a little harder to go from last to first in one corner which is better
