Insider Reveals Texas GP Layout

There has been much speculation in the media and the like regarding the potential nature of the forthcoming US GP. Early this week it was revealed that Hermann Tilke will be in charge of designing another underwhelming circuit, to add to the growing amount of underwhelming circuits on the F1 calendar.
An angry insider can exclusively reveal the initial layout for the track.

Tilke stated his delight at being chosen to design the new circuit and gives a unique insight into his in-depth design strategies and inspiration:

"It's fantastic to be designing the circuit for the American Grand Prix. I will earn a lot of money from basically doing the same thing; long straights and tight hairpins, in conjunction with twisty bits where drivers cannot overtake. I get my inspiration from all around me whether it be in plates of spaghetti or packets of cereal.  Inspiration for Abu Dhabi came from a free computer game, which was in a packet of Frosties."

And, according to Tilke, Turkey's Istanbul circuit is actually Shanghai inside-out. Whatever you think of Tilke he's here to stay, in a posh, air-conditioned hotel at the end of a long, long straight. All I can say is....Thank God for Spa.
