Incorporating some more of the old osterreichring.

Looks cool, hopefully F1 will go back there soon

Why did they screw up the old circuit in the first place? Utter crap decision making - messed up a glorious track for the sake of Bernie and his circus - spend millions to ruin the track - and then Bernie takes the ball away.

Ignore F1 - stuff Bernie - and stop ruining classic circuits.

Thank god F1 never got near Brands Hatch.

well i fail to see how that will help... a good tow out of a corner should see some overtaking on the straight but other than that they look like fast fifth gear corners thus zero overtaking opportunities...
when will they realise its the cars not the circuits that are the problem.....

I think Bernie has lost it. He's changing the rules, but that doesn't work and he fails to see it's the cars and not the tracks.

Dig out some old footage of the Grand Prix races held at the Osterreichring up to 1987. You will see what a beautiful, sweeping track it was. It was the nicest track on the calendar, better even than Spa.

Watching a TAG Turbo McLaren sweeping through the Hella Licht Curve or the Bosche Curve was just awesome.

Actually I've never seen the old one

And this new plan looks quite good actually
