Okey, the track runs clockwise and to get a feeling of the length: the pit straight is about 100m longer than the one at Hockenheim.
From the pit straight through corners 1-3 it´s completly flat. The following straight and turn 4-5 is increesingly steeping before flattening out after turn 5. 6-7 has a little camber. After turn 7 the track starts to climb through the esses at 8. The climb continues up to turn 9 wich has a crest in the middle. After a dip before at turn 10 it starts to climb again up to turn 11. Turn 11 is flat but immediatly after the track starts to decline round a small mountain top all the way down to turn 14 where it evens out again. Turns 15-17 is pretty flat with only a couple of dips. The track continues down club straight to turn 18 and on towards turn 19 wich has a dip at the end through the fast turns 20-21 and out on the pit straight again. The long track is mostly for sportscar-races because of its lenght and the circuit type. There´s also a short club circuit with its own pit and a shorter track wich uses the large pits. |

The club circuit of T15-18 reminds me a great deal of the Brands Hatch Indy.
More generally there appears to be long sections of the Sportscar circuit without overtaking opertunities. |

This sportscar circuit has a lot of enjoyable sweepers that go around quite a lot of degrees. I like that.
