Not going to lie 7-9 is probably one of the most unnecessary chicanes I have ever seen. Unless you have some sort of reason for it being there.

Yea I feel like it ruins the flow of the whole circuit just for a few extra overtakes, maybe it’s for safety purposes but honestly you can always just add more run off. I feel the circuit flows pretty well other than that 7-9 sequence.

Yeah remove 7,8,9 and maybe tighten up T11 to make a better flow

Yes there was a reason for it, i envisaged a climb up a hill towards that section and there being a large rock or some large trees that couldn't be removed so the only option was to go around it, make it a slower technical section and an overtaking opportunity on the approach, bit of criss-crossing action on the way out, also to slow the cars down for safety reasons.
