Love and Hate this track.

Hate it because I don't find it likely to provide good racing and also because it favors migraine.

But at the same time, I love this migrainism as it makes the track distinct. A feature that is lacking in many tracks of the calendar right now.

I mean, a bowl of shit on my lunch table certainly is a distinct feature from the usual plate you find on there. Does not make it welcome or desirable.

This might be the worst racetrack in the history of the universe. I haven't seen any racetracks in other galaxies, but I'm pretty confident they're better than this festering pile of donkey shit.

Just dig up that awful tarmac and its migraine inducing lines and bring back the grass and gravel. Has these lines ever actually slowed a car as claimed?

Did I mention I hate astroturf? Paul Ricard is an astroturf hell :yuk:

But yeah, I'll watch the race, like I always do. Then I'll hear more moaning about F1 from people who didn't watch the race :lol:

I'm not even sure the paint does something, does it? Isn't it only (an)aesthetic, to indicative of the areas where there is abrasive tarmac (red) vs regular run-off (blue)? And, as a welcome side effect, increase revenue for the nearest neurobiology clinic.

The layout also sucks massive balls, if only because a track without limits is just so meaningless. For God's sake, a tyre blowout at the fastest corner of your racetrack should at least make people skip a heart. Instead, Stroll's 2018 incident looked like someone missing the apex of a slow hairpin during an installation lap.

that track would only work out if cars had random punctures at Signes

How long is the maximun straightaway length homologated by the FIA?

I hate that chicane in the middle of the back straight...

the max straight lenght for homologation is 2km, Mistral is 1,9km but they put the chicane there to "close up the cars and create overtaking spots"

but I think the max speed is reached before the turns so it would be just like Hockenheim or Monza

You are talking to someone who ate rotten shark in Iceland. So... maybe. :p

As far as I'm concerned, the claim isn't about slowing a car, but increasing the tyre wear.

Other series (eg. ELMS) run the full back straight without chicane. So the FIA are happy to allow it

Unrelated, someone on reddit replaced the tarmac fuckfest with REAL RACEIN grass and gravel: https://imgur.com/a/8cRj6CD

I actually like this track (minus the seizure-inducing tarmac runoffs).

Go get 'em Lewis!!! :roll:

Did this track ever have real grass and gravel though? I thought it was originally just dirt and catch fences of varying lethality.

I believe that the FIA doesn't like that sort of combo for F1 cars, a 340-350 straight flowing directly into a demanding 300-ish corner that requires some braking and significantly loads the car laterally. It's sketchy enough for one car, when you add the slipstream potentially getting a group of cars together there battling for position in the race, it becomes nightmare fuel.

That is not my opinion, I'm only putting myself in their shoes. Real race drivers (i.e. not oversheltered diva teens) have been doing exactly the above on wall-bound superspeedways for several decades.
