    What do you think of the track changes?

    It's great to see the chicane gone. And the wider corners should help with passing.

    I certainly agree.
    The very low speed chicanes quite push cars
    to have about 1 second separation.
    So to pass, one has to first overcome that gap,,,

    IMHO removing the chicane didn't do much, as it's always difficult to
    overtake at the next high speed chicane. However, widening some of the
    corners always helps and the race saw many overtakes on those turns.
