Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Austin track

[Grahame Reinthal (grahame]

Hi Francis,

Glad to hear this view, and yes, I was just reacting to the homogenisation
that now seems to be the Tilke trademark, especially in contrast to road
circuits like Spa, Watkins Glen, Mt Panorama, etcetera.

Cheers,

Grahame

Sorry Grahame

Although Tilke designed it, Tavo Hellmund was insistent on what he wanted
and to my mind this is a really good track with various interesting series
of corners and good height differential. All too easy to be critical JUST
because Tilke had a hand! I think it looks like a very good track.

Best

Francis
