Re: british grand prix axed for 2005
the new tracks are ok but they are just third and forth gear corners with a long straight and a hairpin. There is no real variety with any of the circuits apart from Monza, Silverstone and Monaco. I think that is why Ferreri are so dominant as each circuit is basically the same the same team will win all the time.
I've not seen any maps of Turkey but i'm sure that will be similar too. Sure the facilities are great and they look nice and to the drivers they can be abit of a challenfe but for racing they aren't that great.
The only overaking we see is into a hairpin after a long straight.. no one goes round the outside and they are no fast sweeping bends any more.
With 200million they could have built a huge circuit and created real ups and downs or even re-made an old circuit design with modern safety and facilities
