New Formula 1 GP circuit in Baku, Azerbaijan revealed

[The Compensator]

 

 

Well, it is looking, ummm, boring and def not like F1 circuit at all. Reminds me of city tracks in GRiD games. Drag racing anyone?

 

“Obviously street circuits present a number of challenges, in terms of circuit design, but we have been able to incorporate some unique features that will provide the teams and fans with fascinating racing. For example, there will be an extremely narrow uphill section at the old town wall that will reward pinpoint accuracy and courage, and we have an acceleration section of almost 2.2kms along the promenade which will see the cars running flat out at very high top speeds – something that will create an incredible spectacle for the race fans on track and the viewers at home.”

 

Sauce.

Me entering this thread to see the track design:

 

 

Money talks, though I'll never rule something like this out to be a complete waste of time until I've seen a race there.

Ye it really reminds me of tracks in Grid. Basically also a bit of Monaco but especially the US based ones are a lot more in a simple grid pattern like this is too.

 

Somebody already went there through streetview? :p

That is one big straight, until I see it in action I can't really judge but yes it reminds me a lot of grid.
