Absolutely fantastic circuit. Visually spectacular, the scenery is stunning.
And to drive; it’s demanding, it's challenging, has a little bit of everything, including bumps, elevation, off camber, banking, slow speed, high speed. Get to lean on the Kerbs. And there are a few places, in a Formula car, where you really do get to rely on the downforce generated.
Turn 3, Cedric's, I think it is, breathtakingly good as you go flat out, down through the compression. And the last sector, what is it, turns 11,12, through to 13 - Church, just a brilliantly flowing sequence of corners.
This circuit is a better figure of 8 circuit than that of Suzuka! No really. Or should that be a figure of 88 as you cross over twice more!
Brilliantly designed racing circuit, it is simply a joy to drive.
Very well done, Sir. Tilke should study your work!
