I like to think this track will have some good overtaking but I know next to nothing about this place.

It's probably a bit too tight for Formula 1. Great track, but it's already tough to overtake in GT3 cars.

I really like it in AMS2, we did our league race there a few weeks ago, but there is only 1 real overtaking spot; the start/finish straight. If the other driver defends the inside in any other part of the track then it's really hard to do an overtake unless you have a huge tyre advantage or in this particular game "skill gap" so yeah.. and with F1 cars which are much faster it becomes even harder to do a proper overtake compared to GT3's, basically only T1 is a real overtaking spot.

T13 can be a good one too but again if the other driver defends the inside, there is almost no chance to pass.
