Finally a good fucking circuit. Got the potential to be the best race of the season.
The surface degradation is concerning though. The pickup on the tyres is from stones being stripped out of the asphalt surface. Not really anything that can be done, the surface is just old and needs repaving.
Malaysian here. The event logistics re parking and public transport are going to shit. Some people who left the circuit at 1730 were still there at 2130. The shuttle bus line looks like the airlifters out of afghanistan. Finger pointing at SIC and BIC for cocking it up. Hope they sort it out by quali/ race day
