I usually like street circuits but the new one for F-1 in Valencia really is pitiful. This is in the warehouse district and to see the cranes and warehouses is just a joke for what is billed as the most glamorous sport in the world. If Bernie gave up on the US and Indy for this maybe it is time for him to retire. If this is the best he can do in Europe what will the Singapore course be like?

My opinion was 180 degrees different. I usually hate street circuits and was sorry that they added another one, but this one I like (for a street circuit). It in no way compares to a beautiful road course. I would agree with you on the scenery, but I paid little attention to it. I like the 23 corners, although it made passing even harder than usual.

I think there was more passing in the last America's Cup regatta!
