    This is actually the old, version 2 track used until 2002. The track used nowadays has a longer start-finish straight and a couple of different corners.

    Hi Grohl,

    The AQUARENA was opened 24th April in this year, the satelit picture was taken 2 or 3 years earlier.

    Great course, both for the drivers and spectators. One of my favorite F1 circuts.

    Hi , I also think that this is one of the best circuits on the F1calender . It gives the cameras some great angles .
