Long DRS quality straight into flow disrupting, overtake friendly, with plenty of paved run off, heavy braking zone hairpin into another DRS friendly straight is vintage Tilke my guy.
Jeez it’s even got the slight flat out kink he loves to use after hairpins. Even if you don’t want to call it Tilke derivative, it certainly comes across between this and Trial Mountain that PD are trying to go for some quasi-FIA approved layouts.

Deep Forest? More like Shallow Forest. Half the trees are gone. Tracks are super wide and that last hairpin is an abomination. But I guess it will make the divebombers happy? They could easily add the old fast downhill right hander in addition to the new section, but nope, everything is bulldozed just because the FIA championships require every track to have at least one tight hairpin/chicane for overtaking.
RIP Deep Forest 1997 - 2021. May your soul live on in Assetto Corsa.

This looks more like Shallow Woods to me.
(@LeGeNd-1 you tree’d me, seriously?)
Bad jokes aside, I think the new layout was probably changed so that higher-class racing cars have a longer straight to stretch their legs a bit more. The original isn’t really known for its high-speed sections so it looks like they were trying to make the layout more welcoming to the higher classes.
Personally I really love the dip at the bottom of the hill and the overpass with actual cars driving on it. That was a really nice touch. Dare I say the last part reminded me slightly of Red Bull Ring’s ascent up the hill, but in reverse, for some reason.

Yeah based on the community feedback, "Deep Forest" really needs an urgent rework. Hopefully PD notices this

They've fixed the paddle shifting animation from Sport but it still looks a little funky.
Also something is up with the colours in the video. You can notice it easily with reds of the flags as well as the suggested gear number icon beside the current gear number, speedo bar, ABS icon, and brake input.

I kinda like the new GT7 track aesthetic where they have these hyper advanced facilities in the middle of a forest or nature or something. Don't like the final part of the track and how they made it more generic but overall I think the whole aesthetic design of the new GT7 versions of old tracks is pretty cool.
They seem like places that are cooler than a real race circuit, the kind of place anyone would want to watch a race at.

Those last few corners looks super sketchy,it looks like the track kinda gets tighter after the pit entry.Really liking the new layout tho it flows really well but the OG had those trees creating huge shadows of the track,why change that?
Also,great idea for the new cockpit view just lower the effect of the driver head moving down too much kinda makes it harder to see

I'd say it's a mild-Tilke-fication, it is was full-on Tilke you'd have the following:
- Replacing T1 with a chicane-like left-right-left complex.
- At least 3-4 stop-start sections that supposedly for better racing, but do nothing but spread the field out.
- Awkward mid-speed constant-radius turns where over taking is impossible.
- 3-5 off-camber turns which serve no purpose other than allowing Tilke to say "hey look what I can do!", at the expense of racing.
- Removal of the entire forest section in favour of a brand new flat layout on the opposite side of the pit straight.
- Shaving the pit straight flat to avoid offending sponsors who want to be visible at all times from all parts of the track.
Not of a fan of the new final sector, but I can kinda see why they did it: with sensible racers on the old layout there's only really one place to pass (T1), so this adds a opportunity, also, you couldn't really have a reverse layout with the old version because of the jump before the first corner.
