What's the background of this track and is it going to be a good facility? What's the scoop?

Well what you'd know straight away is the tracks designer is Jacques Villeneuve and the layout looks very interesting on paper. I can see a pinch of istanbul:

Kind of cool that the race track and kart track has the same basic layout.

Looks pretty Bahrainesque to me... Which isn't a good thing.

Apparently this is quite common. I first noticed it at Phillip Island.

That overhead shot is nice. It looks like a solid track design. I'd be great to have a second Canadian race. Canada is a beautiful country.

Well, just read the briefing. It's a rich member club. Car clubs can't rent it, memberships are ~$30,000 plus ~$3,500 a year.

that's insane
"Explain the ending to F1 in football terms"
"Hamilton was beating Verstappen 7-0, then the ref decided F%$& rules, next goal wins
while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"
