Yeah that looks like it's going to be a fun one - expecting 212mph on that straight. Wonder why they're racing it on a Saturday instead of Sunday.

A night race on a Sunday would be a Monday morning over here

Ah ok, I missed the point about it being a night race.

Track currently doesn't look like it will involve much action but a lot of speed. I think the proposed layout only has 11 corners so be interesting to see how it evolves.

I know the new F1 owners have long had their sites on growing the sport globally and attracting a new American audience, but not sure how I feel about racing in the states 3 times whilst we no longer race at Hockenheimring, Nürburgring or Malaysia among others.

Personally I'd ditch the Saudi Grand Prix for obvious reasons, and I'd be happy if Monaco was given the boot (impossible for financial reasons I know), by far the most boring race every year.
