Tilkedrome

High class modern motorsport circuit usually designed by racetrack designer Hermann Tilke or his company. All of these circuits share certain characteristics (long straights, hard hairpin-like braking zones, esses and expansive tarmac runoff, sometimes painted over). They are often deemed 'unoriginal' or 'dull', due to similar corner combinations and high emphasis on safety and spectator experience.

"Why there are so many boring Tilkedromes on the F1 calendar! They are taking space from actually good circuits like Sepang."
"But... But Sepang is a Tilkedrome as well."
