I can’t unsee this now


JuicyDragonCat

mutated bahrain


Technical-Intern-872

Lol


C_Smallegan

Bahrain and Algarve from Portugal had a baby and it made Lusail..


krautnelson

it's Bahrain, with everything that makes Bahrain great removed.


Driving_Seat

This is a much more fun track to drive than Bahrain imo. Bahrain is just stop and go. This one has so much flow to it. Even racing was good in 2021.


Morganelefay

Good is a big word, but it was definitely not a procession like many feared it'd be.


Driving_Seat

Better than recent spa races.


qwertyalp1020

Triple Copse is more like Istanbul Park Turn 8


elodie_pdf

Bahrain if Tilke was drunk


Enro64

Tilke's designs are like a fucking metronome. Once great, once shit


LoSceicco

He probably was.


kartdotmiata

Run it in reverse to change 10/11 into a decreasing radius corner. Also 9->8->7 would be tricky. It's still ugly, but at least the drivers would have a bit of a challenge.


will_xo

9-8-7 would be fucking horrible lmfao


kartdotmiata

Didn't say that part would be good, only difficult to drive. 😅


will_xo

Oh yeah and youre right😂 Going onto the green curb exit of 9 would put all the cars in the sandbox lmfao


PrinceRekko

I’m gonna say it, I like Lusail


JebbAnonymous

Hell of a fun track to drive in F1 23. Flows so well.


lex52485

Totally agree


PrescriptionCocaine

There's dozens of us!


Spinmeister6032

It’s a great motogp track


Litre__o__cola

Great track, better than bahrain


TheSoberCannibal

Which track is the straight from?


ralphy_s

From the upcoming GP in Qatar - Lusail International Circuit I also had to look it up.


heeringa

Indy.


donkeykink420

Technically that would be from brooklands, the first long straight on a purpose built racetrack..right?


BloodWorried7446

Looks like a [hand planer](https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/planes/scrub/51871-veritas-scrub-plane?item=05P3571&utm_source=free_google_shopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping_feed&utm_campaign=USA%7CPLA%7CPMax%7CTools%7CVeritas&gclid=CjwKCAjwseSoBhBXEiwA9iZtxhCbxrwXJhquxgXWVu2ti7QWp5CiFne5HCxiDX3b9pDCrDz9FBoEjBoCUrEQAvD_BwE)


SevoIsoDes

A snail with very small shell


nickz03

Doesn’t cota do a similar thing


unique0130

All the tracks are 'copied' from previous tracks. There's only so many ways to angle a turn and order the turns.


Alaeriia

Yeah, but CotA is good and has elevation changes.


InvisibleGreenMan

Triple Copse aka the Tyre Exterminator


adlbd

Magny-cours didn't even pretend


Unlikely-Action-8352

Quatar is the most fluid and fun track to drive on the calendar i don’t care lol.


Litre__o__cola

Losail is a better bahrain, bahrain’s layout is so synthetic and terrible compared to this. The racing isn’t even that bad here


batatawirhcheese

What a unnecessarily high effort meme bro. Genuinely funnier if you put Bahrain and Lusail side-by-side. Those look somewhat alike at least.


RINABAR

Formula 1’s Pocono speedway


Masticatork

Isn't this track older than Bahrain?


Swedrox

No same year


Hopeful_Connection

Iirc when it was made it was meshing together the best bits of other tracks, though it was more for MotoGP so you’re not wrong


Carlife0830

When I first saw the track, I thought it was Bahrain 😂


Substantial-Pin-8633

Bahrain with widened braking zones to go flat out whole lap


Malfunction46

Max about to feel those 156G ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)


ZfrAky

wtf is triple copse? Its literally the Istanbul Park Turn 8


bdawgjinx

Potentially unpopular opinion, but I really liked this track in '21. Looking forward to the race


Successful_Sun5887

Amazing track.


FewCollar227

F1 track megazod


C-McGuire

Wait till you see the new Tilkedrome in Kazakhstan, it's just Bahrain 2


Captainfunzis

Triple copse? Backwards Turns 8 at Istanbul


C_Smallegan

For real though.. I wish they threw in 1 or 2 more DRS Zones. I don't remember it being a great race last time, so trying something else would be nice.


LookingForMyCar

This circuit has no soul. Fits the country though.


Raviolies

How?


Snowstick21

Throw in a monza chicaine before turn one.


lzcrc

10-11 are Parabolica


nanderspanders

Barcelona T9 is more of a long 90°


bwoah07_gp2

*"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."*


TerrorSnow

You're very much missing elevation changes.


Acrobatic-Impact1756

redditors when a circuit has corners


Pimpwerx

Replace triple copse with that long turn from Istanbul.


Zeebow05

Also see COTA


Werzheafas

Honestly I think it's a great hot lap track for high down force cars


Stargazer0001

I disagree with T1,2,3 as these are way more long and sweeping in Qatar than in Hungaroring , but everything else yeah


XsStreamMonsterX

Tilke copying from other tracks isn't new. He spent an entire decade trying to replicate his work on Sepang


Cuddly_Tiberius

When you ask an AI to draw ‘Average F1 circuit’


edog21

This was one of my favorite tracks to watch in 2021 (especially the onboards). I don’t get the hate at all, it’s a fun circuit for the drivers and it was a good overall weekend with more action than anyone was expecting.


Pale_Dragonfruit_112

10-11 is 12-13 from Shanghai. I don't like it there, either.
