Sorry to dredge this up but I just rewatched Newcastle and it is such an awesome bloody track. I think maybe my general hatred of street circuits/championship drama clouded my initial viewing but after seeing it again I'm really starting to appreciate it.
I'm happy to stick the boot in when it suits so it's only right to give credit where it's due. Amazing job to all involved. The layout was just wild and I felt still produced good racing, better than some permanent facilities. The panning shots were stunning. I've been to Newcastle a lot through work and I just never saw it as a beautiful city, boy has that opinion changed.
Massive undertaking is an understatement. And who ever had the foresight/balls to build a mini Monaco/Baku style circuit deserves a medal. What a risk, but jesus did it work
