By the way, since they were both 1991 circuits in F1 terms, were Catalunya and Magny-Cours designed by the same ... masochist? If so, Tilke doesn't deserve as much contempt as these guys!
Theres nothing wrong with Catalunya, and im fed up of people saying its a poor track. Try taking a look at the history of the track at MotoGP. Its not only one of the biggest events of the year, and has brought some classic racing. Even F1 has has some great ones there. The only problem is most F1 drivers can drive round there with there eyes closed (Oh No! blindfolded racing, I can see it being a rule for next year if the FIA or OWG read it) because if F1 testing.
Has for Majorca I think the layout looks nice tbh, I cannot see why Galahad would compare it Estroil, would be nice to see a new Track without Tilke trademarks on it. Not that i got a problem with his tracks but variety would be nice, rather then every new track having the same sort of template. And yes its better then Valencia, which ugly as sin, as bout as featureless as a blank canvas and promotes racing as good as a scalectrix with only one slot.
The European GP tho, having a European GP at France would be the French Gp wouldn't it? whe whole point of is so two great tracks in the same country could end up on the Calendar......well that was the point once wasn't it?
But one idea I had is a rolling European GP going to different tracks each year. Perhaps it could give good tracks that perhaps cannot afford to hold an event every year a chance to be on the calendar like, Zandvoort, Imola, A1 ring, Many Cours etc. And perhaps give a try out almost to new tracks without having to tie them into 5 year contracts before. Then if its successful it can have a GP all of its own.
