Love it ... Good choice A1... I think that this will be their Signiture Race actually...

Any word, Clockwise or Anti-Clockwise??? Looking at the Grandstand Layout at the hairpin/chicane thingy, looks like Anti-Clockwise, but just want to be sure...

It looks anti-clockwise but I think that really clockwise would suit the circuit better but until there is a clear map it is quite hard to tell.

Pretty good track, I must say.

One thing I don't understand and that's why the pits is on the outside of the track. Now the cars will head for the pits from the racing line and return to it ON the racing line. If they'd switch the track and the pit lane, that problem would not be there.

Only question is, though, whether there's enough room on the inside of the track to provide paddock room.

i believe its clockwise, look carefully you can see a faint and fading white arrow on the yellow track ...

[Lustigson]

Yes, I see it. You're right. However, the problem with the pitlane entry and exit remains.

[f1freak]

I hear what your saying with the pitlane, however, just judging by the picture, I think there's not enough room on the other side...

About the direction of the track... I think that judging by this picture, you wouldn't have the cars go north, and then have a grandstand right there (however, this being a street circuit, who knows)... then again, looking at all the other corners, it may be Clockwise, using the same theory I used here...
