Great vid, brought back good memories of CART. BTW, Why don't they just cut the hairpin turn through the dirt if that move is legal? I always thought the rule is: if you cut part of the track and go into the dirt you can't take advantage of a position. Oh well. I say, cut the chicanes and use them as passing areas.

its not legal to get an advantage by cutting a corner and your expected to let the opposing racer past then re battle for the lead. but as im sure your aware in the case of rossi/stoner , stoner was still at least half a wheel infront when rossi re entered on to the paved part of the track so no rules were broken.
