Great track, but wasn't last year's race terrible?

Perhaps the new aero package will help?

I think the nature of this track does make things pretty bad for the trailing cars in dirty air. So I have to believe the reduction in downforce can only help.

The new package should make this race amazing. If its not amazing they could try painting more random blue lines for the driver to zig zag around to shuffle things up again. Ohhh or maybe even red and blue flags to drive around like ski slalom events have. That would make for some interesting passes, eh? ;)

the early DW12 races were pretty good, and with ample passing areas I think this will be a good race.

spider returns by popular demand to original post :P

The racing has been ok here even with the old high downforce car, so I'm expecting something spectacular from the new one

Oh, and there's rain predicted for Sunday (that won't happen, obviously)

It really is a beautiful track. At least it is on TV. Never had the pleasure of going there myself. I am expecting a decent race though. Interested to see if Rossi can keep this streak of form going.

CAN'T WAIT to see the new package here. First road course with a lot of fast turns, so a lot of difference from the previous car.
