“Ok guys, we are way under budget and we also look to finish too early, any ideas?”
“Let’s go around the circle and see what we can come up with.”
Stronger design, more wind resistant

Stops people speeding at that bend I assume
Probably had a problem with speeding. Solution is slow down or die
Has no one seen the “The Thunderbirds”

It’s circumventing and overcoming in parallel
Carbrains
