An obvious key characteristic is the uphill run into Turn One, which is somewhat reminscent of the A1-Ring. The long back straight, which appears somewhat truncated in this picture, undulates like the old pit straight at Kyalami.

Intersting that it's counter-clockwise, for what it's worth.

WHOA! Are there any other F1 tracks that the first turn is 133ft higher than the start finish line?

I really like it.....

As Cooper observed - very much like the A1Ring in Austria, but that's not a current track so nope.

Could be quite cool.

so, whats the rules and procedures on testing a new track that no one in the world has raced on, before a F1 race is held there?

Looks awesome! Hopefully someone will already be making a mock-up of it for GTR or something

None that I'm aware of, just has to be inspected and approved by FIA. In the past they used to allow an additional practice day on Thursday, but they got rid of that a few years ago.


@EZ - yh, was thinking the same thing

So I assume the teams will be scrambling the get a mock up in the simulator ASAP
