Formula 1 keeps tight control on the standards and building of new racetracks, most of which - those in China, Bahrain and Malaysia - were designed by Hermann Tilke, a German architect. For the new track outside of Istanbul, Turkey, in 2005, the mixture of Tilke as a consultant and the local designers created the most original of the new tracks, with its wild, undulating twists and turns.
