Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Very Tilkish :lol:

That right corner after long straight is sooo typical for Tilke and so boring.

A bit of dark sarcasm regarding South Korean circuit:

Kinda funky pit exits, but looks like a cool circuit.

I do not understand it very well, as usual.

1. What are the "yellowish/brownish/goldenish" areas generously sprinkled around the track? Surely they cannot be the run-off areas: they are not located at the places where I would expect them. Auxiliary roads?

2. Which is the F1 circuit and which is the alternate circuit? The kinks you have to follow to go around the external part of your drawing are severe, specially at the joinings of the two "main loops". I could not figure out a trajectory around the circuit without these "kinks". It is a kinky circuit? I love that kind. Hey, it has a nice ring to it: "Tilke's kinks at Korea".

BTW: Where is located? Panmunjong? DMZ? Uijeongbu? (I would love that one, too).

Please, enlighten, Massa.

About the overtaking opportunities, what's up with you people? Do you know how wide is the track? Do you? OT depends on offering two different racing lines. Do you hear me? And get off my lawn!

i wish tilke would stop using rulers and compasses for once and just freehand an organic track, and not make it with 10 mile long run-off areas or hairpins after every decent sized strait.....atleast its a fresh track and not annonimising a classic like he did to fuji.....

A first corner should be very fast followed by a straight then into a tight hairpin with a narrow exit IMO, just like Imola used to be, but more runoff obviously. Tosa was just plain stupid pre '94.

I believe they are grand stands and seating arrangements.
All I know is I don't know much....

I think he means the gravel zones (I think).
On the bottom left hand of the circuit for example, that would mean relatively large asphalt run-off areas like turkey, before race-ending gravel zones.
