Higher kerbs were installed at the first two chicanes in 2009 to prevent cutting. In auto racing, curbs are flat curbstones lining the corners or chicanes of racing tracks. Two chicanes were introduced along the Mulsanne Straight prior to the race. Some tracks, such as the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, feature optional chicanes. The track used was very like the Monza of today, although without the chicanes. Monza has three slow chicanes on the circuit, but is not present on either calendar. Other slow chicanes and turns were removed. The challenging track, alongside a strip of beaches, had several fast sections and four chicanes. This style allowed him to perform at circuits where chicanes are common. The chicanes will not be used during restarts. This trap speed record with the chicanes in place still stands to this day. Martin's criticism of the course in regard to the chicanes was mentioned. Available without the chicanes in other race events. The older of those chicanes, however, has since been removed. They were used in connection with chicanes for some time, then abandoned.
