I hated it :(
Its a single grove track that has only two overtaking points, and both due to DRS.
The makers of the track also had no idea what they are doing since they made the track have only one very narrow racing line, and even destroyed the track in a couple places so they had to resurface it.
Add to that all the fake marina, fake water and lots of filming of crows and celebrities and all there is left is a show.

I don't even know what everyone has to do with this stupid port... I laughed about it for a moment and then it was over for me. :lol:
It's not interesting to me at all when it comes to the sport.
Similar to the countless driver training sessions at the football club, simply promotion - it's just part of it these days. :wink:

Because it is an illustration of what is important to the organizers :)
Not to create good racing, but to showcase itself.

Same like the fireworks after the races - it looks great but nobody really needs it and it costs money that could be used elsewhere better... :wink:
