matarleton should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Purist, I actually agree with you.

There definitely is a place for purpose built tracks. I would say that the new F1 circuits, while purpose built, are rather "surgical" feeling (hard to describe in one adjective what I am saying).

Most club circuits are designed to be slower for fear of liability because most clubs do not want to limit their customers and drivers, so, they let less experienced people out on the track.

Between the surgical purpose built tracks and the lesser club tracks is where my track fits in and this is the balance I have been talking about. I do think that a few club tracks (purpose built to be slower and more inclusive to everyone) and the surgical F1 tracks have their purpose as well but in general tracks should be more balanced.
