    I would assume the drivers have been on simulator's for this track, will be interesting to see who will get to grips with this track quickest, my money would be on LH , but lets hope for a surpise.

    Anyone plannning to go.? got a map with prices for on it.

    Strange...I assumed they were racing at the circuit, I didn't know there was a street version, too.

    Why aren't they running at the track? Access/capacity problem?

    Hmmm... It looks like a fairly high speed track in regards to top speed. I see five different places where they're close to or at 200mph before braking for what seems like some slow/medium speed corners.

    I can't wait, its seems like it is going to be a great course. I'm for Alonso. He may or may not do well but sink or swim thats my boy.

    i was there there s two ago for the FCE, the track is not really finished at yet but the effort are enormous under hard sun.
    the track is finished, many tribunes need to be filled of seats, some parking are not finished only sand for them..need a car wash afther GP.
    inside the paddock, every is new, repainted, not really unsonorised but you got a good view. Concerning the habor, some boats will paid around 60 K€ and much more for complete GP (3 days) but it seems theY will have a bad view, all security fences are here and all around the track...

    when i was, the view in the bridge was missing, shame because i want to see the F1 at the entrance and exit of the bridge filmed by a good camera. Probably resolve at this moment.

    i saw some helicoptere view and i can say the track is REALLY beautifull.

    a good point is for the race a guy who was 6 fall under the classification, at the end of race i took 17 places...for
    urban track is incredible. you can t see that in Monaco.
    some pics of mine and other from Tommy.

    Thanks for the feedback and photo's, looks like qualiflying will be a important factor again, and probably I expect to see the SC out a lot, are there alot of hard things to bash into, and is the track wide in places it looks it.?

    No problem, hoping it will be good, not going but I'm keen on hearing feedback as I probably consider going next year, I have read it is quite costly , and the view is not that good. I'am sure the TV footage will make it look good though.

    Your welcome, well the placesfor car is unorganised but they must to revised everyting promply...i think, i heard too
    that everything will be ok for the GP.
    Concerning Places for spectators they are working like Titans for finishing....next year everything will be ok, now it s too short.
    But during one year they made a great job, really incredible for me.


    the only think i regret they are the security fences all around the track as you can see in this video, the visual is
    poor. better to see the GP on tv.
