Silverstone's new layout
Should be interesting, at least the Copse, Maggots, Becketts complex is still there.

Big Block go VROOOM!
Speaking only from my computer driving experience, the chicane at Abbey in the former GP layout was annoying as hell and ruined an otherwise great flow. I don't think anyone in the real world is going to miss it either. Even though the new Abbey-Ireland-Arena complex is a decreasing speed series of corners, it at least looks to have some rhythm to it. I wonder if they tightened the exit to Club or if that's just an artifact of the new layout diagram.

Except for its history, Silverstone is not much of a track. The layout has changed countless times over the years that it has no great character. I remember about 15 years ago they were proposing to modify it into an "oval" type configuration.

Add to the "not much of a track category:
Yas Marina
Bahrain
Barcelona
Germany
In short, quit letting Herman Tilke design tracks that only have 1 passing zone
