Looks like an interesting circuit. Hope they don't butcher it too much in order to make it safe.
It needs to be repaved due to bumps and the last corner needs neutering, theres not enough run off around it.Indycar or Champ Car went through the baseball stadium as a chicane to avoid half of the last turn, and I would suspect a similar arrangement to avoid the fast turn.
It's all changed since Mansell's day.

I hope it gets a revamp to an extent as when they last raced there it was like a motocross track! When Indycar went there hadn't they put some kind of chicane in instead of Peraltada(? last corner), I seem to remember something that looked like a cement works being very close to the track too on Indycar's visit.

It turned 90 degrees right just before, into the stadium, 90 degrees left down the infield and out of a gap between and under the stand to come back on halfway round the corner.They went in here - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Aut%C3%B3dromo+He...
went straight a bit, then turned left, to come out here

I found this video on their website which seems to show their plans for circuit updates, basically as above for the last corner and some other changes up at the far end of the track too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZr6jEjds2QThey went in here - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Aut%C3%B3dromo+He...

I'm guessing that it will probably have the longest green light straight run to the first corner in F1.
Maybe even the longest uninterrupted straight?
From what the video shows they will:Maybe even the longest uninterrupted straight?

- tighten and right angle the Moises Solana
- 90 degree the Esta Del Lago corners
- narrow the approach to Horquilla
- miss the first part of the Esses
- use a hairpin and S bend inside the baseball stadium
