The Grid has its own barrier system, called The Edge. The Edge is manufactured through rotational molding, and is available in two sizes:
- 60 centimeters for tight corners, appr. 7 Kg
- 120 centimeters for fast corners and straights, appr. 12 Kg
The Edge is connected with ratchets and/or with Poly-ethylene (HDPE). It is also possible to fill the barriers with water or sand. The Edge is available in several colors, with white combined with one contrast color being the most common. Since the barriers are rotation molded, it works like a cushion. The Edge barriers are strong, keep its shape and absorb a lot of energy with impact. Also, marshals can easily step on the barrier to bring themselves in a safe position when necessary.
Key Advantages:
- safe system, high energy absorption
- safe for both driver and marshal
- easy and fast to build to change or create a (temporary) track
- doesn’t require much space
- clean system with little to no maintenance
