Poor safety implementation is what it is more about. If you are going to make the "fastest track in the world", you should also make all attempts to make it the safest in the world as well. Exposed metal structure supports in a crash zone is very very poor planning.

They added 15-20 mph though. That's pretty significant of a jump.

It was actually about 6mph... Still quite an increase though.

I mistakingly got that from this, but they did get close to 10 mph over the previous record.
