While it certainly looks impressive, I still don’t like it. I prefer to watch cars racing around, you know, actual tracks. This circuit looks like they are racing around an Olympic Stadium in the carpark.

I read somewhere else that this place represents the start of a new era, that includes the end of Mosley.

It does seem a long way from the days when a bunch of grim pasty faced punters would hang around a bleak Northamptonshire aerodrome to watch drivers who’d stub out a Benson & Hedges before climbing into a scary car.

Now it’s over-budgeted attention-seeking lurid architecture as a backdrop, for, well, over budgeted attention-seeking F1 cars, driven by cosseted, pampered good looking boys.

these look too good not to be screenshots from some computer program! What’s it like in person, any one know?

Even though there isn’t too much runoff, it’s still tarmac. It should be grass or gravel.

There’s only ever one racing line, regardless of the circuit in question.
