One of the pair of hairpins that form the climb up to the back of the track has always been problematic. Firstly, the track rails seem to get pinched and so some of the cars would get stuck going round, and secondly, the side swipe would cause more accidents than in the Michelin hairpin because it was mostly hidden behind the pit building.
I've belatedly realised that Radius 1 turns are available that don't squeeze the lanes together. I had to buy four 45 degree turns to make the whole 180 degree hairpin (see on the right of the photo below).
I've left the original tight hairpin at the top of the slope by the Michelin Man so we'll see over the coming weeks which is the most suitable.
