In answer to the forum title, I think its impossible to fully answer the question until we've seen the rest of the new circuits. So far I thought Mettett was pretty decent, not a classic but perfectly acceptable. Ok the jump was a bit unnecessary but it didn't take away from the track and I can live with jumps on the odd track here and there. Mixes it up a bit.
Trois Rivieres (apologies if I'm spelling these incorrectly as I'm typing quickly on the hoof) was awful. There wasn't really anything about it that I liked. Seemed quite a slow circuit but that's what the FIA seem to want out of any new circuit for anything, lots of really exciting slow harpin corners and chicanes. Anything that vaguely resembles a quick corner might as well be in the middle of a supermarket car park with the amount of run off they insist on.
As regards other new venues, I'll reserve judgement until I've seen them.
