Re: Texas GP News
No track from Mr. Tilke is anything near of challenging... Just for Mickey Mouse Something like Laguna Seca's Corkscrew is challenging!Fuel*Buzzed wrote:Track for USGP in Austin is promised to be one of the most challenging.

Maybe challenging in terms of asuming the challenge to stay awake during a race!sh-modeling wrote:No track from Mr. Tilke is anything near of challenging...

Valencia circuit is a great challenge in this aspect.
But let's face it, same happens with Montmelo and is not Tilke's design...
Re: Texas GP News
I beg to differ, Istanbul is a great circuit, and it's a Tilke design.sh-modeling wrote:No track from Mr. Tilke is anything near of challenging...

Re: Texas GP News
The track layout is supposed to be revealed today.

This site has some more info.

Here is a link to an interview with Tavo Hellmund and Bob Varsha.

I thought Tavo was a foreign born business man, but listening to him, you can tell he is a Texas boy.

Re: Texas GP News
Hrmm . . . I'm relatively close to Austin, I may have to take a drive down there and look around. Maybe also look into a job as a copy editor - that official press release document was riddled with errors . . . .
