Not sure if anyone has got round to flicking through the 2012 annual yet, but in an interview with Pierre Fillon he mentions a few interesting changes regarding the circuit.
The bad news is not really unexpected. The ACO will be taking a look at the Porsche Curves in a bid to make them safer, the same with the exit of 'Corvette Corner'.
Around that area is also going to be the new 1.4km kart track. Around that will be a driving simulation centre building, a boutique and a restaurant - complete with a terrace which will give you views of both the kart track and the race circuit.
He also says they are going to build a pyramid-shaped tower besides the grandstands facing the pits. This will display the race positions like at Indianapolis and apparently some other information.
I'm not sure exactly where that would be placed to be honest. Combined these changes will certainly change the look of the place over the next couple of years.
