I discussed this with Steve whilst laying the track on Sat. Apparently they used to have some foam but most people preferred not to have it as if you just glanced it it drags you in to a place that's not easy to marshall. Apparently the white box section plastic we had there is the best compromise between absorbing impacts and not effecting people who just glance it on the way round.
I don't want to be hypocritical as have critisised other parts of others tracks at times. Neither do I want to be patronising but if you can't get round it, start off by going slow and then build up speed? It's not an inconsistant part of the track, you'll understeer going into the corner there every time.
I often take 2 goes at the corner i.e. turn in hard and early on the carpet to get the car moving, then add additional lock on when onto the polished floor.
