Tilke tracks are designed to maximize the TV exposure of the advertisement on the cars with long straights followed by 1st gear corners. That is why he is used so much.

I'm just relaying what that linked uncyclopedia article says. Uncyclopedia is never wrong, right?

It comes down to the fact that Bernie is simply out to make as much money as he can before he dies/retires, which is probably the same thing, maybe he needs the money to bail out his good friend Flavio Briatore? China and Bahrain have plenty of $$$ to pay whatever Bernie demands, but Turkey does not; no doubt there will be another middle east / Asian track that will be willing to stump up mega $$$. Bernie couldn't give a flying f*ck about F1 now; it's all about the money, not what's best for the sport... Tilke and Ecclestone, a match made in HELL!!!

A bit harsh

No about right.

I think " A bit harsh " is DD's way of agreeing with me... unfortunately F1 has become as much about money as the sport if not more so...
