Sooo..... that means it will look "almost" just like all of the newer road circuts.

ie... Bahrain, China, Turkey.....

....or at least have the Hermann signature corner design.

yh, a kink or bend wherever overtaking should happen.

@ Kav, it's kinda controversial, but many people find Tilke track designs uninspiring and overtaking-unfriendly.

Article that questions whether he's as bad as his rep.

Well, as the article observes, the good examples are due to the terrain, not Tilke.

And when given a blank slate with free reign?

Quote
At Yas Island for example, despite the track being constructed on a man-made island at gigantic expense, Tilke found it necessary to include low-speed chicanes as part of the circuit design – one of which immediately precedes another low-speed corner.

Even the drivers – who usually stick to an uncontroversial PR line when asked to give their opinions – have been moved to criticise Yas Island.

maybe he will read all these critical articles of his work and try something different for once. But i fully expect a crazy first turn.
