Did you just suggest that Suzuka was a bad track?

no, you were moaning that there are too many corners in sector one, and im saying if you think thats too many, then look at Suzuka.

I have high hopes for this track, Looks very good to me as some of you on here have already said, there is a good mix of slow and high speed corners. To me that has RedBull domination all over but I hope not.

That first corner looks insane. Looks like the apex of the corner and the apex of the hill are identical :eek:

If they don't have their downforce right, the cars are going to be spinning off all over the place.

Might be the camera foreshortening it, but the run off doesn't look huge either for such a fast corner entry.
 
Just noticed the green note at the bottom of the sketch Arknor posted - 'Bernie thinks still too technical and slow, speed up overall'.

Don't think they've taken too much notice.

Is that the hairpin at the far end of the track?

I imagine the venue itself will put up grandstands. If not a massive fence :p

Still not convinced by this track. The first corner is the wrong way up, the first sector looks like pointless corners for the sake of corners, and the last sector is just bad copies of average bits of other circuits. I mean the Hockenheim stadium section, who the hell though that was good enough to warrant a copy?
