A driver’s eye view of Valencia

This virtual lap gives you a good idea of how the brand-new street circuit in Valencia will drive. As you can see, the track itself is a lot wider and faster than Monaco, but still with some very tight corners and intimidatingly close walls - think Monaco crossed with Spa.

Grid Crasher can’t wait for the F1 circus to arrive there for real (race day is Sun 24 August), and see how all of the drivers cope with the challenge. It looks like the type of circuit that will suit aggressive, accurate drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Robert Kubica.
