The track layout one is on to something... Here's my idea of a good style of corner to set up (AFAIK its nothing like Herman Tilke's ideas)
Have corners with good run off room (tarmac), but where the apex of the corner is cambered outwards, and the outside of the corner is cambered inwards. This means that the camber favours the driver on the outside, and penalises the driver on the inside - hence there are two good lines through the corner (a shorter one on the inside, and a faster one on the outside)
Of course, you'd need a good drainage system in the middle of the track, but thats not impossible.
Done correctly, either line would produce the same lap time, so it would be interesting to see the qualifying runs, and which line each driver chooses.
It's kind of like the Carousel at the Nordschleif.
If such a corner was between two good straights, it should promote passing.
You might even see a little bit of crashing as the guy on the inside understeers towards the guy on the outside.
I'm bored of Tilke Tracks. Silverstone made some excellent racing this year, and Mr. Tilke wasn't involved in that one!
