"The layout is very nice, from what I have seen. I actually have an old

the original Formula One Grand Prix had it....
crammond was the man back then.

Either F1GP or GPL. There is no substitute here ;)

Los Hermanos last turn was modeled after Riverside's infamous Turn 9, not
the Parabolica, and is quite steeply banked. Since it had a rep as a
"killer" turn--and must've generated humungous g-loadings--it's no wonder
they chicaned it. (You can see a plan view at CART's Web site.) A better
alternative, IMO, would have been to flatten the banking.

It was already flat during the last F1 races ten years ago AFIR, but
they added that chicane to let the track go through the baseball
stadium and 35.000 more seats.

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

It's called driver challenge on a proper racetrack. Blind corners and
off camber corners are part of the game.
