Yes! VERY Exciting to see and watch!
In fact, ALL of the racing was quite exciting ... something I didn't necessarily expect.
Outside of F1, there were vintage F1 cars racing Saturday, and both Ferrari Challenge (458s) and Porsche GT3 Cup cars trading places and swapping paint/bodywork; aggressively I might add LOL.

Fortunately for me, I left my camera battery behind on Saturday! Now I have only ~1000 photos to sift through. ;)

That was a nice race. And the track looks quite fun! At least it's not a "flat" track. Uphills and downhills make a great circuit, like Spa.

Sure, but it's better than those boring city-tracks like Valencia or Singapore.
