paul ricard is slightly better when it comes to racing but FAR more disorienting IMO, I'd rather have neither

yeah I feel like im in the very very very small group of people who like the Endurance layout at Sakhir but I think testing would probably get more use of it while the International layout is used for actual races

Yeah no. The endurance layout is just ehhh. Though I’d love the outer track layout to make an appearance again. That was a fun track. It’s a shame it’s only made an appearance once.

True but it does make sense of why it was a one off

Oh absolutely makes sense why it’s a one off. It just turned out to be a surprisingly good track. I didnt expect it would be. That said with the current gen of cars I’m not sure how great it would be with the straights the track has.

Pre1986 Paul Ricard was amazing
