Agreed, and the long track gets rid of my favourite corner, the only that transitions into another - turn 2 and 3.

But, the same can be said for Taupo, where track 2 is arguably peoples favourite and my favourite section on that is the sweeper into the chicane and then left hander onto the back straight. Everything but the sweeper is gone with the longer track 1 or 4 setup.

The biggest benefit at Hampton Downs is not only the longer International grade track, but also the ability to run a second small track when the national circuit is run. It looks like quite a fun little club circuit.
