Ok, it’s a nice track, state of the art, a bit TOO modern. It’s obviously not going to be used for motorbike racing, however, which is gutting (safety issues with run-offs etc). I think thats a shame, as the trajectory of the corners in this circuit would make interesting wsbk/motogp watching.

Tony G – to compare it to Phillip island isn’t really a good comparison – there was a minute covering the top 10!!!

Not sure. There are so many comments it is tough for us to keep track. But as a general rule a comment will pass as long as it’s not defamatory, rude, overly long..or just plain stupid!

Webber said it all,it ain’t Suzuka is it? Another boring race ahead at another boring track, Suzuka Interlagos and Spa are the only tracks worth watching, interesting that there were more overtaking moves at Interlagos than there were on the Moto GP bikes at Phillip Island. You need momentum to overtake in F1 not slot car circuits

“Grey concrete jungle’ is a good description. That pit lane exit tunnel won’t be boring if something happens in there- I am amazed that the FIA has allowed such a thing. And that first chicane appears to be so slow that you could get out and stretch while going through it. One big yawn…

But, I’m the guy who thought that the Valencia track was going to be brilliant. I hope that I am just as wrong this time.

Don’t really think so. Ferrari are usually flying in Brazil.

As opposed to tracks with no real opportunities for overtaking like Monaco?

I want to see the race, I think this track may turn out to be quite good once we get an actual race going there.

And all the Tilke hate does seem a bit strange to me. Sepang is, IMO, one of the tracks that actually gets interesting racing. Has everyone forgotten the 3 cars next to each other overtaking we had there a couple years ago?

I heard that the turn 5 chicane was imposed by the FIA because the run-off at the hairpin wouldn’t be enough at the speeds cars would be going at Turn 6 (previously 5).
