Let's play a game. It's called "what corner is this?". :lol:

If you wanna time trial on a sim, this track is the best, though. Obviously, overtaking will be near impossible given how short the straights are and how quick the corners are.

Only Suzuka challenges this one. Spa is hyped and nowhere near has the same amount of very high speed corners such as this one. I get why people love it, though. The scenery on the Ardenne´s forest and the elevation change, which is indeed nice.

To put into perpective, look how devastating this track is for Pirelli´s tyres. Most F1 tracks are comprised of hairpins, chicanes, 90ºs and overall slow corners which stresses very little the rubber. Even the C2s, C1s can hardly cope here due to the amount of +5Gs turns.

I do get that a lot of the corners look indistinguishable from another ones, though. Still, for qualifying time trial, I love this track. The races will always be terrible, don´t get the apparent suprise many are expressing

just like they created the C6 marshmallows, they need to do a C0 or C-1 for this circuit. also remove those razer shell rocks and curbs.

what cockshow this race is.

This track is just like Monaco, only faster.
It isn't anything like Monaco. Monaco has features, recognizable corners, and a thrilling, high-stakes, qualifying session.
this is what happens when F1 loses all morals to oil money. notice that all 3 ME recent tracks have produced mediocre races at best and required some form of intervention to make it somewhat of a semblance of entertaining

There is little reason to race in Qatar apart from money.

There is little reason for 24 races in a season apart from money.

There is little reason for triple headers, we you get the point.

There is little reason for sprint races, full stop.
