The track looks a bit of a yawner, but the facilities look pretty cool. Bruno Senna doing some laps.

Where's a cool track like SPA when you need it?

Was that "Build It Bigger"? Saw it too. Facilities look pretty awesome, but the track is just so, so.

Track sucks.

Its another one of these cookie cutter arrangements which are essentially stop-go circuits.

Here is Bruno Senna in a GP2 test on it.

Why not go to a real circuit again? Consider how much better the racing was at Interlagos than at a place like Bahrain or Sepang.

I watched the DTM race from Dijon and it was so much better racing then this circuit could ever provide.

Just cause you sprinkle a track with hotels and other nonsense, does not make it a good drivers track.

Exactly, makes it a cool attraction, that's about it.
