Foto scattate in tre giorni diversi da agosto a ottobre 2008 e qui pubblicate con il consenso dell'autore. La descrizione in inglese è dell'autore, la traduzione in Italiano è mia. I nomi delle curve sono stati dati da David Griac (jpm) per una migliore comprensione, non sono nomi ufficiali. I moderni e alti edifici sono stati costruiti pochi anni fa, non esistevano ai tempi del circuito
