^^ Pro drivers always follow a race line next to the cones..
What you guys keep missing is that the concrete colored bump blends in with the road line, since the cones were placed ON TOP of them... And the rest is obvious..
This is mostly track prep error... If you dont want anyone hitting the conrecte bumps...
1) Take them out, as you see they are removeable in the video
or
2) Place the cones NEXT to the concrete bumps...
The tire barely grazes that first concrete bump... Just enough to get it up in the air in slow speed..
Again, these guys are pros... The "cone orgainizer" used bad judgement.. IMHO..

Here's what a Triangle on Top of a Larger Circle looks like.. Now put a same color road next to that mess...

Gotta consider this was set up as a race car, meaning the seats are on the floor and set much further back than they would be in a standard IS-F. As soon as he pulled up to the marshal with the flag, I doubt the driver would have been able to see any of the cones anyways. Should have used much bigger cones!
