I have no idea what to expect. Everyone will either love it or hate it. Probably both. At least it looks more challenging than Valencia or Sochi, but so should Montreal be and it sucked big time. Looking forward to FP1. Oh, and GP2 will race here |

because they don't want to see F1 drivers racing Le Mans? |

Council of Europe is nothing to do with the European Union (and not to be confused with the Council of the European Union which is). It's main claim to fame is the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights, both of which are completely separate entities to the European Union (in case you were wondering, no Brexit won't mean the end of the Human Rights Act in the UK). |

it was a former soviet country so it still counts as european to me quite as much as a team from Vladivostok playing european competitions |

I imagine a lot of it will be like Valencia, where there is still miles of run off and it's very forgiving for a street circuit. There is a really narrow section somewhere on the circuit, though. That could be interesting. |

if the straight is long, they'll be holding on throtle to improve fuel mileage and tire saving I would like to see more pics of other corners, to see if there's runoff |

The most horrid track can produce a thriller if the circumstances are right. Hope that is the case this weekend, although I have to say the track looks anything but horrid from what Ive seen. |
