Yeah, Silverstone is nothing like what it was in 1985.
The only earlier change to Estoril was the addition of the Gancho chicane bypassing Tanque, built in reaction to the events at the 1994 San Marino GP. The changes to the first three corners and Parabolica were implemented for the 2000 season, the first year modern MotoGP visited the circuit.
Track Lengths:
Assen- 2.830 miles

Montreal- 2.709 miles

So, how is Assen "too short"?
