Marbles are an issue all the time and everywhere, except Japan... its the only track that cleans the marbles over the weekend

Find me a firearm that utilizes a rubber bullet with a muzzle velocity of ~280 fps.

That's slower than a paintball gun.

One driver commentary I read complained of being hit in the hand by these 'marbles'(forget which one). The Pirellis seem to wear much faster than the Bridgestones and parts of the track were visibly inundated with the tire remains. I don't think it's a completely dismissive claim.
