Notice that the 2nd picture shows a slightly different track than the 1st! The hairpin section and the triple-slow-corner section are swapped.

Umm, no, the runoffs definitely fit better a clockwise direction.

Top pic or bottom pic. Both look rubbish. Magny-Cours is better than that!

Ecologically friendly eh? cool...

...
The authorities were therefore keen to integrate the circuit into the landscape and Wilmotte's designers have thus retained the many trees and orchards along the river bank and placed the racing circuit close to the main Paris-Rouen railway. They have, however, incorporated access to the riverbank in the design, with avenues of trees from the track to three jettys, which will allow access to the circuit from the river. There is, nonetheless, a screen of trees to reduce the effects of noise and to hide the track from the river. The area between the circuit and the river will continue to be operated for agriculture with a variety of orchards. The track is entirely surrounded by embankments: these will do several things in addition to providing elevation for the seating (there will be 120,000 seats). They will act as noise barriers, deflecting sound upwards, while at the same time preventing any possibility of water contamination as the circuit will be entirely independent of the surrounding drainage, with all water run-off on the site going into two small lakes in the infield, which will then be discharged into the Seine having first been treated in the circuit's own water treatment facility. They will also prevent the circuit from being flooded if the Seine does overflow.

All construction work will use materials to fit in with the landscape. The plan includes a large main grandstand, which will incorporate a conference centre with a large amphitheatre so that the facility can generate revenues from events as well as racing and will create jobs for the local area. The roof of the conference centre and the medical centre will be planted with gardens and all the buildings will have the latest environmental technology, including solar panels above the pit buildings. These will also be used to provide shade for the VIP terrace above the pits. All heating and cooling of buildings will use heat pumps
...

Sounds lovely and all, it's about time (they could've done that with Magny Cours as it was in the countryside but oh well lol might as well start afresh). It should look great, not sure about the noise barriers from the embankments, we F1 nuts love the noise!

)Magny-Cours is not a bad circuit !

The idea of the track "Flins les mureaux" was to give the opportunity to the public to see most of the track in one "vision" (not a bad idea after all :)

Moreover the first turn is supposed to have a little banking :thumbsup:

If you mean the idea is for there to be places from the circuit where the spectators can see the whole track, that already exists... in the Hungaroring and in the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia. :\

Interlagos is another. Rockingham in the UK does it too. I'm sure there are many more.
