I did say my preference at this stage is for the waterfront layout.
That being said, I'm curious about some things with the other course. First, I haven't quite sorted out how to toggle up topography lines in Google Earth (or whatever), because the short description on NZR's site says 200ft difference between the high and low points. That's pretty darn substantial elevation change.
I'm hoping those roads around the stadiums are wide enough, though that's relatively minor at this time in my estimation. As for the straights on the 2.85-mile layout, the pit straight looks to be around 3,000ft, which is quite respectable, particularly for a street circuit. The straight on the right going down to the hairpin appears to be about a half-mile long (~2,640ft).
