Although I am an Electrical Engineer, not a civil engineer as the people that designed this track probably were, my two cents is this:
During your University education, you are taught to take into account the safety of the public as your number one goal. That means, not a single aspect of the design of your work should compromise safety in order to meet another goal. So in this case, designing a track that makes it more exciting to watch because of unsafe speeds, and not including a sufficiently high wall in order for the cameras to get a good view of the action is in my opinion complete negligence on the Engineer's part. I would expect the team of Engineers that designed this to be out of a job soon as they should be.
