I liked Hochenheim's long straights. If there had to be a way to keep the essence while reducing the track area, how about this?
It connects with the classic Kurzanbindung, so there are two really long straights now. The go straight begins with a fast left hander, and then has a fast left-right (like in the Nürburgring GP in the sector 2). In the forth straight, there is an optional chicane for slower cars. There is a shorter alternative for cars that don't need so long straights.

Brilliant. The only thing I'd change is to use the Mercedes Arena corner instead of the quick esse.

Nooo, I want that section to be very fast. Ok, there could be a chicane option for slower classes.

It's good for the new layout but I want to see incorporating the old layout with changes.

I agree: a slower turn there would disrupt the flow and slow the cars down - something the race wouldn't need at that point, IMHO. The faster the turn there is the better, I'd say.

Does anybody know if the old Hockenheim circuit is accessible to the public?

Currently, it is not accessible I'm afraid. But, we can brainstorm on how to integrate the old section while improving some.
