    I fully agree. Not to mention the track has a friggin great flow, and not fake like the Marina Bay.

    Disagree. I thought Valencia wasn't bad. For ugly, did you miss Singapore?? The Ferrari looked incredible under the lights. I hate the Hermann Tilke tracks (Malaysia, Shanghai and Bahrain, although Turley isn't bad). Sure you can pass in Malaysia but they're so wide that when you watch them on TV all you see are cars and pavement. I miss Imola, a track so narrow it took some skill to stay on it. Every camera angle had some character, you didn't need to be told where they were on the track because every corner was instantly recognizable.

    Valencia, IMHO, was really bad - just ask Andreas. :D And, i'm not talking about how the cars looked under the lights. I'm talking about racing here - passing, defending, etc.

    And yes, your right about the Tilke tracks. However, if u remember a couple of years ago, passing was possible even at Sepang - a Tilke track. Thing is, with the double diffusers, it just doesn't help passing. Look at Spa and Monza, as i have mentioned. Tilke tracks are just boring, no flow, and so fake. A perfect example, look what he did to Hockenheim.

    Exactly! It's possible to have a race with little to no overtaking and still have it be somewhat enjoyable. No matter how boring Monaco is, i'll never fast forward. There's just something about Monaco, something that Singapore lacks. Valencia is boring and quite visually unappealing as well.. but I always think "oh, maybe something will happen this lap!"

    Although I'm always left dissapointed. :(
