This is an educative compilation about all important changes in track layouts of venues corresponding to the 1994 Formula 1 season. It started as a reaction of GPDA on heavy improvements to the safety, after both Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger tragic accidents during the San Marino Grand Prix, which took away their lives.

This is the full list of part 2/2:

SILVERSTONE CIRCUIT
0:00 - Copse corner was re-aligned, changing the apex, to increase run-off area, and the pitlane exit got modified as well.
0:29 - Stowe corner turned from a long right-handed curve, into a tight one. The entry to Club got more contracted as well.
0:38 - A new chicane was inserted at Abbey.
0:51 - Priory corner was diverted, turning in earlier than previously and leading to a hairpin-like corner at Brooklands.
1:08 - A new corner was installed at the pitlane entry.

HOCKENHEIMRING
2:10 - Old Bremskurve 3 was renamed as Ayrton Senna Kurve, the corner got more tightened at the entrance (notice the cones at the inside apex).
2:46 - The famous turn 1 Nordkurve also became more sharpened than the old version, stretching the exit.
3:15 - Old Bremskurve 1 became Jim Clark Curve, with minor modifications, say 'less tight' than the Senna Kurve.

AUTODROMO INTERNAZIONALE DI MONZA
3:40 - The famous Curva Grande was re-aligned, with its new radius 15 m further to the inside than previously, greatly enlarging the run-off area on the outside.
4:43 - The second Lesmo curve was tightened, reducing speed from a 4th-gear corner to a 3rd-gear one. This implied the whole demolition of the grandstand located just round the outside of this corner.
