Completely unrecognisable, hope they run out of money before they change the layout.

Which bit? Looked familiar to me - apart from the new loop down the hill and the straight lining of the esses.

Like that, a damn sight more interesting than Silverstone

A modern circuit with not a chicane in sight, a new fast downhill corner, with a hairpin at the end of it (overtaking point for the daring?) and one on the crest of a steep hill. Could be a classic.

Looks good, don't know if it will be a better circuit that Silverstone though. The pit straight seems long, makes for an interesting first braking point. I'm just glad that they haven't altered the craner curves, best corners on the circuit. I'll have to make sure i've got the cash spare to go next year.

[Jungles]

Look OK for me. At least they've kept the exciting bits.

Quite.

[350GT]

Certainly looks fast enough!

[BenElliottRacing]

thumbs up from me. looks good

[Skywalker]

Look great. Recognisable enough from my last track day there.

It should be a star.

Looks good to me, as said the main thing is they haven't touched the lower half of the circuit.

[mister.t]

Looks alright actually!

[anonymous-user]

Looks good to me, the only downside i can see is that they will cut infield viewing in half!

[Graebob]

Looks pretty interesting, although I had to watch it twice to get a proper "feel".

Also, who hired the worlds worst commentator?

Looks a lot more interesting than Silverstone.

If we can't have GP cars at Brands, seems a good alternative.

Hmm, some of the straights in that clip look longer than they have room for imo.

And it looks very confined as well, not much run off in the new places, but could also be the field of vision used.

Oh and the person doing the driving is pretty poor, although not as bad as this one braking way before he should in this one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFt4RPZKMKU

I didn't hear James Allen?
