Nice... I did not like it that much flat, but with elevation change it really add some interest.
The only thing I don't like are the back to back tight 180s in what I guess would be the end of sector 2 or the start of sector 3. Those seem to impead the flow. Hard braking in tight 90 left. Then 180 right into 180 left in to 180 left. Seems a little too much back and forth. Probably a good place to watch since the car will be in the area of the track for a rather long time, but also mikey mouseish.
At least it was not as slow as the back to back 180's at the Indy F1 track.

I am pleased they incorporated successful elements from other tracks - doesn't look like the typical Tilke-Drome. I'm curious to see just how well they integrate the elevation changes into the turns.
I am GOING to the inaugural race come hell or high water.

I am with you Keelaboosa - I am on the mailing list and plan to buy tickets as soon as they go on sale.
What I really want to know is who is going to have the first DE there...

Looks better than I expected. Better picture on the F1 site. Looks to me like they missed an opportunity to create another passing zone at T6 and T7 through T10 look like they might slow things too much going into T11. But its good. Can't wait.

Looks good, much better than what I expected from Tilke.
Looks to have few good passing spots too which of course is good.
I would've used the elevations differently (for example when the track goes up and then down, you could've had Eau Rouge or Corkscrew type of corner) but yeah, has potential for sure.
