They all look the same too, but that's not (necessarily) all down to Tilke and gang but the FIA safety directives. Meanwhile the old pre/non-Tilke Grade 1 tracks just get the asphalt-treatment and in some cases ugly plastic surgeries (Silverstone etc)

This is spot on. I can't for my life understand how "the people in charge" think that sterile, lookalike circuits is the answer.

As for the WEC they should look at circuits like Potrero and Road America instead of Shanghai and the likes.
