At least the layout should have a few rather good overtaking points. Hell, they could very possibly disable DRS altogether and still do alright.
As for Thailand, I think they still probably have a HUGE amount of work to do on a very basic level after last year's incredible flooding, which even inundated a good portion of Bangkok.

I know this is the wrong place but anyway. A couple of years ago I got a KMZ file off one of the tt members which had all the circuits old and new around the world which loaded in Google Earth, would anyone know where I can get it now?

I'm not sure what you mean by that.
I don't see a particular association with Indy Cars in this track. Also, though it's a street circuit, F1 already has five non-permanent tracks on the schedule; New Jersey should add to that total next year as well.
On the ground, the track definitely looks more interesting than the map would initially let on. The video from the 1984 F2 race gives a nice idea of what the middle of the course is like.

Ahn... the simulation, looks like some track from the Indy championship, can't tell which one but it makes me remember racing in rFactor with Indy tracks, that's it.

I'd love to see it in Thailand
...and the original Red Bull is still made and sold throughout Southeast Asia in its short stubby gold can... tastes better than the skinny tall blue/silver Red Bull cans from Austria in my opinion

Pie in the sky maybe, but a Caribbean Grand Prix held somewhere like Grand Cayman. Formula One, partying, good weather, offshore banking, tax dodging, all fits together.

Yeah when i saw the first section i was thinking 'please no not another valencia'. Section 2 through the grassy bit adds variety. While the third sector that looks a bit like an indy street course looks good.
Please more monaco, long beach, pau, detroit or macau rather than valencia, but i dont hold much hope if herman is designing :S
