Some riders hates Istanbul park. But some are likes very much. 11. turn is very hard you have to control your tires, brakes ... Did you like it. Very hard and very different circuit becouse it produced by Tilke ...
 
i like the track. it produces good close racing. i hope it stays on the schedule next season.

I liked it...especially the few nice chicanes...they probably have to cut at least one track next year though, because of the addition of Misano....hopefully Istanbul isn't the track they cut
 
I think it's a great circuit, the sixth gear right hander is one of the coolest corners of the entire year. I highly doubt the Turkish round would be the one that MotoGP will cut. It's too new and there is too mucn money invested, if anything goes it will be Sepang unfortunately.

unfortunately i think ur rite. could be qatar tho. but i think the oil money will keep em at that track.
 
I liked it because Melandri beat Stoner Rossi-style on the 2nd last corner then had questioned his sexuality with his mechanic on the podium.

Sepang and Qatar are the only rounds that sit really close to the equator, don`t they? The weather conditions must mean pretty different setups for the bikes. It would be easier for the teams to get rid of both. But like Frosty said, there`s oil money in Qatar that will keep it on the GP calender until GP bikes are running on hydrogen. Sepang isn`t that lucky....
