Good on 'em. I hope they pull it off.
I like it. Should be good for other formulae as well.
I'm just imagining the changes of force in the new section. First of all having your ass pummled into your seat as you come up the hill, then the negative G as you go over the top and turn (could it be the new PHB) before hurtleing down the other side into a +G right hander into the old start / finish.Quote:

The new downhill left-hander looks interesting. Similar to Pouhon.
I like it but not sure how many places allow overtaking, maybe the Melbourne hairpin and the new hairpin in the infield and perhaps the more racey drivers might try something into Redgate.

The tunnel allows access to the area where the new pits will be built but the circuit inspectors reckon that this has created greater risks than previously.
I'm sure they'll get this sorted, but it's not what they need right now. :\
All this money..all this redesign to a classic and beautiful circuit so 5 years from now Bernie can tell you it is not sufficient and he is taking the date to Tajikstan......
I like this redesign because they left a lot of the old circuit and feel, but I am of the opinion I wouldn't turn one shovel of dirt until Bernie gave me the contract that tied f1 here for 20 years hell or high water....
