    What do you guys think about the track? Surely it's a nice layout in qualy, quite popular among most of the drivers and fans. That said, the racing wasn't stellar with either a too long or too short DRS zone. Maybe with more time to find the ideal compromise and the 2026 rules it could also provide great races...


    I don't remember too much from the '20 and '21 races, I'll have to go
    back and watch them again. Just from looking at the track layout,
    though, I agree that it looks like it would be a lot of fun to watch qualifying.

    Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of the layout is the high gradient earning it the rollercoaster nickname with many severe ups and downs,
    creating blind corners sometimes. Contrary to Tilke tracks it was designed
    by a random architect that tried to capture the flowing nature of the hilly region where the circuit was built.
