The O’Connell hairpin should be renamed to “Two Eurdo for a hostel” hairpin.

jaysis thats an awfu track full of 90 degree turns.
Pearse St through to Dame Street is a natural chicane at the front of Trinity College and Church Street over the river leads into a long uphill sweeping bend towards Christchurch which isnt that dissimilar to the famous hill at Spa.

It would be an even more boring race than Monaco. There are no overtaking opportunities.

I have my doubts about the Grafton Street section

You’d need Automan’s car for some of those corners.

An F1 event here would bring the country to its knees. I hope it never comes here
There was actual plans for an F1 street race in 1992.
“The route proposed was a 2.3 mile circuit from the East Wall Road over Annesley Bridge, into Fairview, and then turning right on the link road between Clontarf and East Wall.”
Would have been cool.

Judging by the roads listed it would be a very tight circuit and with the current regs and even the upcoming regs would be basically Monaco without the harbour full of yachts.
Now for Formula E you could argue it would work better as they have successful City Tracks in London and Berlin as well as the more traditional circuits

Not using the phoenix park for part of the circuit is criminal.

We’d be better off developing Mondello or building a new track at the end of a rail line.

What do you call the track?
Accident City? Crash Zone?
