On board with Bruno Senna in the two seater Minardi that we had testing here at Snetterton (See my albums on my profile for pictures)..
The circuit looks fantastic, although somewhat bare at the moment before they slap up all the advertising banners and so on.
Take note the pit lane exit..
no run off, under ground..
Should prove an exciting race..

There are other videos relating to that day, if your a circuit nut like myself, do try and watch the first ever race on the circuit, GP2 before watching the F1!

Building a brand new track makes you wonder why they dont build at least some camber or gradients in to make it more interesting. Sorry but it looks duller than a dull thing.

Looks like a pretty impressive place to watch from, the grandstands all seem pretty close to the action. Have to agree with Duncan though, all that space and money and all they seem to have done is built a track with a long straight, tight corner, long straight, tight corner etc. Most exciting bit to me is the pit exit! :lol:

It isnt that exciting i do agree, i was just impressed with the whole architectual side of the circuit, as well as the surrounding hotels and ferrari theme park structure.. Although that video doesnt show any of that only the track, the whole place is still very interesting.
To get the whole island developed in the timescale they have had has been very impressive.
Note the Sheik's (not sure if thats how to spell it) personal viewing tower..
