Situation
Modern racing facilities or street race circuits face unique challenges. One of
these unique challenges is space. The limitation of space requires circuit
designers to come up with track designs with parallel racing lines, for example
Joker lap for rallycross events or bi-directional racing for street race circuits. In
the past two lines of concrete barriers were installed back to back.
Description
In order to reduce the amount of barriers Geobrugg did cost engineer the circuit
design and came up with the double sided concrete barrier design. The double
sided concrete barrier is having two flat surfaces facing the race circuit. This
adjustment of the concrete barrier does allow racing on both sides of the
concrete barrier.
As a special requirement for World Rallycross two different barrier heights were
required - 1m and 0.8m. The height change was needed in order to provide the
drivers to have a look on the other lap to avoid crashing after the Joker lap.

In rallycross once the Joker lap needs to be taken by the
drivers. The Joker lap runs parallel to the standard lap
and in the case of Bikernieku Trase features 2 jumps.
Both tracks are separated with the double sided concrete
barrier.
Critical areas are protected with tyre barriers.
Drivers taking the Joker lap must be able to see the other
cars before exiting the Joker. This is a requirement in
order to avoid crashes after the Joker lap.
