I agree. Could have fewer 90-degrees. I'd short the 2-3-4-5 sequence and go from 2 directly into turn 6. Also the chicane at 15-16 will slow down an already slow pack even further. How is the gradient? Any notable hills or valleys?

I always find it hard to tell what a circuit would be like from maps. I need to see it raced in lower forms of racing first.

I always have concerns about the competency of on track officials in countries that don't have a big history in motorsport.
