Yeah, That's pretty painful looking. Also, it doesn't exactly look workable; I can definitely see potential run-off issues.

Furthermore, that layout gives you one, or maybe two, decent overtaking opportunities on the lap. The problem with those ultra-tight corners is, you NEED a straight of at least 1,200 m following to allow the cars to make up the physical gap that opens under acceleration after such a slow corner.

So the only given overtaking point I see is that 90, or whatever it is, at the first part of Salotto. Maybe that chicane on the return run from Salotto won't be too tight, so there might be a shot at the end of the long loop. The left-hander there, however, is so slow, you don't have enough straight before the final hairpin. And if they've tightened that last, real turn, then there's really no chance of being close enough to the guy in front to make a move into Turn 1.
