Alwaysfirst should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I've edited almost the whole of the original track, whilst keeping most of the corner shapes.



I've lengthened the main straight & tightened the first 2 corners al la Sepang. An open corner & a short straight leads to a steeply uphill corner with a blind exit. The corner is faster than it first seems as the camber of the corner aids corner speeds. A long straight leads to a section of very fast esses, the first half steeply downhill & the second half steeply uphill to the apex of the righthanger leading onto the next straight. This corner is nearly blind on exit & there is a slight negative camber pushing cars out to the edge of the track. After a small kink the straight runs over a crest downhill to the hairpin. After the hairpin the track climbs steeply uphill with the first of the slight righthanders being blind as the apex is just over the crest. The second of the corners is downhill with a very positive camber. The next corner is a triple apexed corner that does downhill throughout, with a positive camber on the first 2 parts of the corner. A slight lefthander leads onto the uphill straight leading to the fast righthander. The first half of the corner is uphill with a crest midway through the corner. The second half is downhill with a slight camber as the corner opens out. There is an optional chicane on the exit of the corner. A medium right-left esse follows (instead of the original chicane) leading to the slow, second gear, left handed final corner. I've also moved the pits to the inside for safety & practical reasons.

Opinions?......
