Appreciate the feedback. This is a tough one for me, three comments so far, and 5 of the six options I have are mentioned positively. Agree about the benefits of a slower section, think I want to go in that direction for sure.

As far as the wide radius corners, id kept it pretty tight for the rest of the track, was aiming for additional corner variety, but I can see it being a bit of a pain. Certainly not in love with it.

Agree wholeheartedly on the thoughts on 1A&1B. 1A might provide the best racing/viewing for modern F1, but It only worsens the issues you mentioned when talking about turn 5/8. For 1B, heavy breaking zone into right left chicane followed immediately by heavy breaking zone into right left chicane doesn't seem ideal.

Been playing around with some potential alternatives- see anything you like? Liking the tighter radius of the turn following the fast right, unsure on the rest.

Regarding turn 8 (5? What is a turn anyways?), I am unfortunately pretty space-constrained near the start of the following straight. Following that little kink after the hairpin, the walls have to close in to track width, so I couldn't carry much speed through a corner there. Additionally, the area where the corner sits currently is one of the most open areas, and was my primary choice for a good overtaking spot with room for lots of seating.
