The FiA has now issued a circuit diagram.

Why does it sound nothing like RB5 or any other V8?horse wrote:It was in an RB5, by the way.
It's good that the track is wide. Can expect some side by side action from Vettel.horse wrote:Chandok doing three laps posted on autosport. Best overtaking around the new hairpin at turn 4/5, I reckon.

Perhaps it was like C'était un Rendezvous and they dubbed the film over with the sound of a Ferrari 275GTB?Pandamasque wrote:Why does it sound nothing like RB5 or any other V8?

I think you are right that they will have another layer of some 50 mm to do. But that is a matter of 2 or three days with the right equipment.Tomba wrote:Unbelievable really how much work there needs to be done. It looks to me like the whole track needs a final layer of asphalt.
Also, does anybody know if these fences alongside the straights are there to stay? Looks to me like a dangerous situation and highly unnecessary after seeing the aerial view of the track.
What strikes me most are the changes made to the track from the original layout published by Tilke and this FIA track map. Turn 1 and 2 for instance are now somewhat reversed with Turn 1 now tigher than 2, while Turn 4 has also been made tighter by adding a right hander right after it.
