OT: Chinese GP

A new contract from 2004-2010 will see the Chinese GP added to the F1 calendar. Rumour has it they've spent $440 million dollars on making the track. Imagine how over-sanitized THAT will be! : D

It'll be another clone of the new Hockenheim circuit I bet. And that's a travesty that they ripped up the original. Thank the lord that it's preserved in many sims the world over (he says trying to bring it back on topic-ish). I wonder why they don't have a three lap race with one compulsory pit stop, it would be the same net result and the program would be short enough to slip in before the coronation omnibus... Ah, the shame of it all.

ill bet after 20 mins after the race has finished ,youll want to see another one "Kevin Clark" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Damien Smith wrote: > > A new contract from 2004-2010 will see the Chinese GP added to the F1 > > calendar.

That big descending radius turn by the 5 looks pretty nice (assuming they run it clockwise). Looks like an overexaggerated turns 1 and 2 from the Rodriguez circuit, looking forward to losing my ass end under braking. Jason

If they make it wide enough I think it would be great. /Magnus

over-sanitized ? what does that mean for F1 ? no more ferrari -cheating allowed ? hmmm perhaps that would be worth watching...

From the layout of the kitty-litter traps, looks like a clock-wise configuration. The decreasing radius turn at the end of the pit straight looks sort of contrived, as does the increasing-radius turn leading on to the long straight with a hairpin at the end. Hard to tell if there are any elevation changes. Are those two bridges over the pit straight? There are so many chicane-riddled tracks on the circuit now, I'd have a hard time picking a circuit I'd like to see replaced! Jim Jason Moyer wrote:
