its really amazing to see that every one of tilke-designed tracks look equqlly boring. and at the same time equally liked by bernie. they must be REALLY friendly. lol

Interesting layout. Great to see a large part of the track "in the forest" unlike most of Tilke's circuits. Will be a stupendous circuit if it ends up being built to this design.

THe most interesting thing about this track is the climb up to turn 1 although I think they should climb the winding side and come down the straight to the finish.

I was hoping for a banked turn or two like at other American speedways.

I thought they said this is not a "stop n go" track? I think Tilke is the one who's single-handedly destroying F1 by introducing no overtaking on his circuits.

This isn't a Tilke circuit as we know it Jim! I count five serious locations for overtaking. Turn six/seven could double back on itself harder, but hey I'm just an armchair critic. IF this circuit is realised it will go down as one of the greats.

i agree with your 5 location for serious overtaking but count a total of 7 places for in general for overtaking

All the current Tilke circuits looked promising on paper.

I think it looks brilliant!! I'm sure it will play host to some pretty good races in the near future, I can't wait to be there in 2012.
