Proposed circuit near Disneyland Paris
The following was posted on a Disneyland Paris discussion board. It is from the local community planning department.
http://www.valeurope-san.fr/info/FR/...ns/1670/060111 It would great if people could resist the temptation of saying that it looks a bit Mickey Mouse.

I'd love to know the thinking behind that North section. It looks ridiculous whichever direction it's supposed to go in.

Not sure about the layout, it looks half streets and half permanent.
The location makes sense. Good air, road and rail links. Plenty of available land and Disney are used to handling large numbers of people daily. |

It looks a bit of a goofy layout to me.

Maybe we should try and get the rest of the Disney charactors involved, but be careful not to use Donald as an autocensor dodge

I think the designers are in fantasy land.

I had visions of this being set out in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head, surely Tilke could knock something up to that effect?

Me thinks a constipated Chicken could have come up with a better circuit design.
And thinks that Elmer Fudd designed it with all those random sharp corners...and that he stutters while drawing... Th...th...thats all folks! |

I think it looks a bit Pooh! I think they're 'away with the fairies' on this one.

It's only fitting to the location that it's going to be a "Mickey Mouse" type of track. I guess I'd prefer Magny-Cours over this design. It's too slow, but then, what can you do in a parking lot anyway?
My guess is that Donald might be one of the 3 race stewards and that Scrooge McDuck owns the TV rights. ;-) |

According to f1-live.com there are also other 3 projects to bid for the 2010 French GP: Yvelines, Magny-Cours 2 and Val de France. I'm sick of Bernie's crazy ideas. That'd be fine if France didn't have any other decent racing tracks, but that's clearly not the case. So, instead of building more tracks in the traditional Tilke style, he could do the simple, at least this time, and choose other location such as Le Mans or Paul Ricard (without those anwful blue runoff areas, of course).

Looks fine to me, except the N section.

If it can hold MotoGP then it can have F1. It may not be the best track in France but it saves the cost of a new track being built and it has a significant amount of history (the first ever Grand Prix motor race was held there in 1906). My only stipulation would be that someone other than the ACO pays the sanctioning fee. |

I'm not sure F1 is the intended race category.
The key has a reference to "Herbie"..... Seriously though - WTF is wrong with Paul Ricard? Bernie owns part of other tracks, so why not? Could it be because he'd be embarrassed by having poorer spectator accomodation than Silverstone? |

After posting I had the thought the BE might be holding Paul Ricard open for the relocation of the Monaco GP. This has been rumoured in the past and might be worth keeping in mind, but that of course assumes Monte Carlo continues to exist as a semi-autonomous entity.
I'd rather they spent the money reviving Rouen. |

That track looks monstrously hurrendous! I pray to whatever exists that this nightmare never happens.
If it does, well, it will just make me all the more eager for His Shortness to shuffle off this mortal coil sooner rather than later. |
