And I agree: there are some Tilke-designs I like and there are some I don't. My favourite of him is the new Hockenheimring.

The hockenheimring sucks. It is both feature- and soulless. There is no place where you really get the impression that you can really make a difference, exept for the first curve. But, that is part of the old track.
I like the Istanbul-circuit. Al kinds of corners, from technical switchbacks to flowing fast curves anything in between, some really challenging parts. And, although it's big and impressive enough to host F1-races and it's circus, and makes the Turkisch financers happy, it doesn't look as megalomanic as some other tracks of Tilke.
