Honestly Erki, if you run the GP Circuit at Lausitzring using Oval Turn 1, you get quite a good course. From the diagram, you would have just three particularly slow corners, and they're all in a pretty close section, which minimuzes the effect they can have on the overall lap. The two real "straights" in the infield are around 2,000-feet 9600-metres, or equivalent to the backstraight at Jerez) each. Finally, by using Oval Turns 3 and 1, you have a very high speed, if not completely flat-out, section of as much as 2.15km (7,000+ft.), which should make for a very fast average lap speed, good overtaking potential, and serious slipstreaming.
