A lap now in the Mclaren simulator. That 1.2 km straight is long enough to negate any advantage faster traction cars may enjoy, should be interesting:

looks nice. I also note that its Jensons car in the sim, so clearly McLaren are favouring him over Lewsi. Daft racists

also that the track advertsiing seems to be McLaren sponsors, I imagine thats only for the sim, not the real stuff, but nice touches by teh sim boys to bother with Boss and Vodafone ads all over their own track sim

Two DRS zones confirmed: almost the entire length of the pit straight and about half of the long back straight. There's a map here (PDF):

this picture just reminds me that the BBC coverage of f1 next year will be drastically different with draconian reductions in emphasis
All so that bernie can make a few more bucks, the conservative neocons running the BBC can save a few more bucks (although the money is coming from a public fund)
and probably the most popular product they put out will be gutted
Instead of coverage and access getting better with time it will be getting worse

The BBC is not run by conservative neocons. However, the current British government could be described as a watered-down version of same, and it's largely their fault that the BBC is being decimated. Make no mistake, it's ideologically driven.

I think Robinho was taking the Michael.

...and i think i'm scratching my head (baffled by your post)!

ok, so I love this track
it flows very well and the undulations are just right
looks and feels like a proper F1 track
its probably the best tilke track
