Best comment ever:-

"Donald Trump would love this track, nothing but walls, walls, walls, walls."

:haha:

Frankly, there's nothing remotely redeeming about it and it makes even look Sochi look like it has character.

As my Mother taught me, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. Re the track I said nothing. :haha: :wink:

The simulation is probably aimed at conveying the layout rather than the surroundings so it may not end up quite as Sochi as it looks

Layout looks ok. Won't be a classic but I'd take a middle of the road street circuit over another Shanghai/Sepang/Sakhir tilkedrome.

Yeah does not look promising. Guess you never know until they race in anger, but that does look like an awfully boring track.

We had cases, when looking at the layout, we thought it would be a boring race track ánd thus a boring GP. And the outcome would be the opposite. Baku and COTA provided good races.
