New Jersey track layout unveiled (for 2013 season)

Not another Valancia I hope.

Nothing about it inspires confidence in me really.

The pit exit looks like another Korea style screw up too.

Guerrilla · 17 May 2012 at 12:18

It looks a bit... plain to me. Suppose we won't really know till we get some F1 cars flying around there.

I sincerely hope not.

Just can't see any overtaking on it, just following single file throughout.

Shimmy · 17 May 2012 at 12:49

I think it'll be better than Valencia.

This track has elevation, if a few too many 90 degree corners.

*cough* New Jersey *cough*

Did you get excited

?

That looks very follow-the-leader, with the snaking all down the back straight.

Bennah · 17 May 2012 at 13:12

Meh...

Axident · 17 May 2012 at 13:18

Looks like it might be quite a slow track with all those 90° turns?

shoes · 17 May 2012 at 13:48

Looks **** tbh.

Skeeter · 17 May 2012 at 14:17

The hairpin is borked by being a double apex. The Chicane up the hill is on a 2 lane strip of road so will be too narrow for any moves. The first corner won't be any good as the main straight is to short. And the rest are all 90 degree corners.

The one possible place is the second to last corner after the long sweepers.

Looks rubbish. Reminds me of Phoenix.

I'd love to see a track that really throws the cat amongst the pigeons by having 0 pit loss. Silverstone is the closest we have.

Kerming · 17 May 2012 at 16:22

To me, it looks promising, a hint of Canada to me. could be good.

craarc · 17 May 2012 at 16:32

Initially it does. But when you look at it closely you realise its hindered by some specific issues.

Couple of videos.

Don't like.

Doohickey · 18 May 2012 at 01:08

Hmm this looks rubbish. There aren't really enough corners. Maybe some overtaking out of Turn 12 and through Turn 13, perhaps Turn 1 building up to Turn 3.
