They were really ragging on this over at Ferrarichat, but it looks pretty good from the information given so far. I like how the grandstand straight is uphill and then after T1 goes steeply down. T2 should be pretty fast.

It seems the place to watch would be on the outside of T1 at the highest elevation. You could probably see much of the track from there.

T12 looks like a hard braking zone.

That looks amazing, and exhausting at the same time.

T9 to T10 looks like a hoot; I was immediately skeptical after examining the first image, but together with the elevation diagram that looks like it could be competitive with other European tracks. And lightyears ahead of Indy as far as track "personality."

This track is the anti-Indy, please let them get that GP race! Hopefully this will consolidate our two mediocre rounds into one successful blowout round!

IMO, elevation changes make a good track great. The lack of can make a good layout, quite boring. Looks good to me! Anyone know the proposed date of completion?

WOW!!! 39-52 feet wide!!!

That's wider than Barber. It would take a while just to learn the correct line....cool layout.
