"The layout is very nice, from what I have seen. I actually have an old
computer game that is pretty similar except for the last turn, which has
been changed. Even though I haven't been to the track, I can already be
familiar with it because of the computer game."
crammond was the man back then.

Tantra, who converts tracks for use with the F1 2kx sims/mods, has done a
modern rendition of the track...there is a slight change at the start and
the last turn is squared off to the inside. Instead of a Parabolica like
half circle, the track takes a hard 90 degree turn right, then a short
straight witha 90 degreee turn left, then another short straight and a hard
right turn to rejoin the track just before Pit In.
THen most of the LOng LONG straight is cut-off and the track rejoins about
where the first esses are.

Definitely, those 35,000 seats are a heavy reason too.
