You're flat for 1.4 miles, it's not a 1.4 mile straight.

So they should be hitting around 360km/h here? Cars are usually pretty generously geared for most circuits.


Which makes the FIA's stance on safety so much more baffling. The potential highest speeds of the year on a street circuit? Yet they have acres of tarmac run off for piddly little corners.

I echo your sentiments about Valencia Scotty, that should have been a fantastic race track, had all the right ingredients and think in the current guise of F1 the racing would have been great.

Valencia's problem is that the straights weren't straight and it was super dusty off line. A recipe for no passing.

Whatever for the track layout, the scenery is 100 times better than any new street track in ages, besides Singapure. Also, Abu Dhabi and Korea looked like a street circuit on the map but they were full tarmacked tilkedromes. Boring turns with boring run-offs. And no street buildings in sight.

Korea said they were gonna build a city around the track :lol:

One thing this track does have is not many corners, so it might be able to produce some decent races.

I didn't say it was a straight. I said turn 16 to turn 1.

Track looks promising. Going by that virtual sim, like mclaren2008 said, I wouldn't want to go off at some of those high speed blind kinks. That uphill one lane section looks interesting too.

The corners around the castle are just ridiculous. There is barely enough room for the medical car to get through there just by itself. So what do they do? Make a ridiculously tight corner even tighter by extending the inside kerb out further than it should be.
