Tawfik: love the big left-hand drift before the slalom!!

Notice the nasty kink right before each of the double apex corners(3 or 4 of them). It totally wrecks the line for the corner and kills whatever flow the track could have.

Ouch! (Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive ) I did not see the course from that perspective.

I actually did not notice the interruption in flow (driving too slow maybe?) other than the nasty hairpin after the first gates which resulted from unexpected bad pavement. Yes, there were some technical sections but when on the right line were still quick. The corner should dictate the line, not the other way around IMHO.

Joking aside, I really do appreciate the feedback from this group so the criticism is good. While many drivers have different ideas of the perfect course, there are some elements that are universally accepted or rejected and getting THAT balance right is important.

Back to my hole...

I totally agree, that's why the business before the corner was was unnecessary. I liked the tight 180. I corner worked it in the am and enjoyed the many bad lines thru it.

Track design is a very subjective field and one with little chance of pleasing everybody. But all in all I enjoyed it and found it challenging. Interesting how it got faster as the day got cooler and windy.

Wish I could have done timed runs.

Amen to that!
