This is a better solutions for forking. The gaffles now have the same length. However, care should be taken to have the flag at 42 being placed correctly on the edge of the pit. Otherwise teams having 42 first risk losing time trying to locate the pit. Crossing forkings may put additional stress on the runners which, in this case, is a good thing.
