All right, here's a more verbose description.
After going downhill on the front straightaway, the first turn is a fast, uphill right-hander. Continuing uphill, a medium speed left-right complex follows. This complex leads into a fast left-hand sweeper before the track plunges into a valley and a very fast right-left-right series of esses. A medium-speed left turn is begins the next uphill run on a medium-length straightaway. Approaching the end of the straight, the road falls downhill once again setting up into the next complex, a double right connected by a very short straight, the second apex tighter than the first. Up the hill again on the longest flat-out stretch of the circuit, gently bending to the left, then the right. After the right-hand dogleg, the track runs downhill again to a medium-speed left-right chicane. The track runs underneath a bridge, then plunges downhill in a blind right-hand sweeper, and then another fast right-hander, back to the pits and the start-finish line. |

From the start finish line accelerate down a long straight. Braking quite hard into a long, long right hander which sweeps downhill. In the foot of the hill the track pulls harder to the right still, and then climbs sharply through a left hand sweep. Immediately following this is a long right hand sweep during which the track levels off and feeds straight into a medium speed left hander that turns through a little over 90 degrees. There's then a short uphill straight into a climbing right hand hairpin. Another short straight leads into a tight left hander. After this there is a medium speed 90 right down into a small depression and then a long, very fast right hander which climbs back to the very long start-finish straight.

Here's a tough one...
 Turn 1 is a wide, fast left hander which is moderately banked. It immediately leads into turn 2, which is the same. After a medium-length straightaway, another conjoined pair of wide, banked left-handers follow. A short straight and a flat-out dogleg lead to the finish line. |

Well done, kivi! This is too easy; you're getting ALL the answers right first time around! I knew I should have PM'd the guy who asked me where I got the images from! Shall we go back to what I originally said I'd do? PM me - or post in this thread.

Mods, you can close this thread if you want, as it has got a bit out of hand for me and some others. I'm still kicking myself as to why I decided to change the concept of this thread!

Sorry to bump, but we need to inject some life into this thread! Anybody got any ideas on how to improve it?
