[@MrLarsson92]

@@fulldump9834 This year (2020) is the fastest F1 cars has ever been. They don't sound as fast, but the regulations/"formula" set before the 2017(?) season allows the cars to be insanely quick, although that can damage the ability to overtake and race wheel to wheel. F1 naturally always gets quicker every year because the teams are pushing the development of the cars really hard and exploiting every possibility that the rules allow until it reaches a point where FIA, who is in charge of F1, decides to rewrite the rules to force the teams to build slower cars, for safety, sporting and entertainment reasons. We want exciting racing more than extremely fast cars. In the end to be "fast" is relative. Personally I would love to see extremely fast cars and really safe and good racing. I'm not sure though that is possible. maybe one day. From 2021 onwards though the focus will be on better racing and putting on a greater and more exciting show for the fans more than outright speed, which I think is the right way to go. Eventually the teams will find ways to make the cars insanely fast again :) But I do wish for some more high rev engines, to get back that mighty roar... Ehm, no, I mean Scream of the pre 2014 days. :)

[@richard_nj]

Very true, but I still have my doubts, I don't see the overtaking possibilities. Even down the main straight it's gonna be hard to overtake because of the series of medium to high speed corners that lead onto it, the car in front will always get a better launch. It just feels like they rushed this bc they wanted a race dedicated to max quickly, reminds me a lot of how they out of nowhere put the Valencia GP on the calendar in 2008 just for fernando Alonso. And that proved to be awful

I read somewhere they’ve turned off the ‘drs’ activation zone by the banked section meaning it’ll be harder for drivers to set up a pass around that section….my guess is the fear is there will be a crash at that section and it’s something they definitely want to avoid. So far, regardless of who was to blame, we’ve had two big crashes at two tracks, both at places where there was great speed …so top of Radillon at Spa, and Copse at Silverstone….I’m guessing those at this track don’t want the same to happen at the banked section so are taking steps to minimise that from happening.

[@marshalcraft]

@@davebcf1231 Well it's a give and take I think, I personally think the track looks awesome, just awesome. But then I tend to like thing's like Monaco, Leguna Seca, and shy away from long many turn technical tracks like say Barcelona. Not that I don't like the difficulty of more turns and everything, but Seems like this track here, Leguna Seca and some others still have some good turns to navigate, they don't distrupt some natural "flow" and make the track more open to the drivers intuition and feeling maybe? Of course the traditional F1 fan will probably not like it which is a valid opinion of course.

I'm looking forward to Zandvoort getting more attention on AC1. DTM class there was some of the most fun I've ever had online.

@@vanderspaced Yeah for sure. rFactor 2 is my favorite sim, so I hope they update it also. They have released periodic updates on Zandvoort, as recently as 2019, so I can seem them adding the new layout.

[@feverpitch82]

Where can you pass though?

[@AtrolinK]

Everybody talking of overtakes at the first corner, but i think most of the action will be at turn 3, where so many different lines are possible

[@jt663]

no there won't be any overtaking anywhere

[@LukeParsonsMusic]

There will be zero overtakes, the race will be a procession but quali will be cool to watch.

[@jame8618]

theres 0 spots anywhere T3 comes off a corner that is long and bendy = dirty air

[@Ofitus21]

Absolutely. There are so many ways you can approach the corner. Go high and carry more speed at the exit. Go low and you cover less metres but go slower. Late apex to do a switchback to another car, early apex and it could be a slide job. So many racing lines

[@acatinatux9601]

@@Ofitus21 both of you forget how big the cars are now...theres no room for different lines, and like that will make a difference at lol "different lines" lmao idiots

[@FinnAL23]

wow i love this track already! but it looks small and overtaking will be difficult, still it'll be an interesting one especially the last corner!

[@CRJCrombo]

As several others have pointed out, sadly the last corner will be useful just for the first 10 laps. When the marbles generate everywhere except the racing lane, you will once again have a single file and then DRS overtakes on the straight

[@grantsteele1671]

I was thinking the same thing, where will the overtaking corners be?? There is not hairpin corners for the late breakers, I just feel if will be a boring race and who gets pole will probably get the win.

[@FinnAL23]

Grant steele now that i thought a bit more about it, i’m not sure if it will be a boring race. yes overtaking will be difficult but i think that there will be a lot of surprises and dramas that’s why it’ll be interesting haha!

This circuit is utterly insane! Speed seems very, VERY high and banked corners all around. Can't wait to see a race in it!

[@bartstockschen1987]

I agree, this new layout with all the banking looks great and exciting. But as a dutchman i can't help but be extremely angry about them flattening and totally ruining the only corner that WAS banked. The Tarzanbocht (turn 1) Was our most legendary corner and now they totally destroyed it.
