Exactly, it was the same in F1:CE where coincidentally the AI were at their strongest at Barcelona. Everyone said it was their least favourite track, and it was also partly because the final corner, New Holland, was a mega fast right hander which if you ballsed it up, spat you into the gravel. Now instead, it's a easy medium speed right hander but everyone finds the preceding chicane infuriating because of it's tendency to make you spin out. I've figured out a decent way through it though
I love Catalunya, it's got a really nice rhythm to it IMO.
