      @@Nekrews51 If I'm not mistaken the last sector was added later and was planed to be built for the F1 race. The original circuit (built in 2019) didn't include the last tight section. Maybe the modders weren't able to replicate it properly since they don't have any footage of that sector. Great lap, by the way 😉

    Igora is what I consider the second track in a line of what Hermann Tilke can do when not forced to bow to the whims of F1 and its cars that can't race. The first being Motorland Aragon. The track makes excellent use of terrain, the corners feel natural and have decent rhythm. Then there's the long back straight for drafting or DRS overtakes. But then you come to the F1 extension, and like almost all F1 modifications, it becomes this awkward, slow extra bit for the single braking zone overtake opportunity that already exists with the final corner. This track would be just fine to race on without the pointless, Mickey Mouse extension. I can only hope Igora Drive didn't waste too much money on that horrid stretch of tarmac.

    Come on now, who would EVER race at Sochi again?
    Igora Park seems much more fun to drive: not the best circuit design in the world as the track layout reminds me of Paul Ricard at times, but at the very least this seems much more technical and much more skill heavy to drive given the elevation changes, some rather difficult to judge correctly which remings me of the fun challenges of Sepang and Portimao.
    I would've liked to see how the DRS zones would've been implemented, because I feel like there are potential overtaking points via the switchback alone.
