A track I adore and I'm glad to see this attempt.
Moving the start/finish straight to the second segment helps to keep the proportions of the circuit. However, the narrow width makes the high speed kinks far too slow. It's a compromise but these should be easy flat out in a 300bhp touring car and there should be space to pass.
You could change the angle of the 2nd segment. Make the spine of the track straighter. That will make the kinks faster and you can keep the narrow width of the rest.
Do the newer tools and techniques make it possible to make the hairpin into a spike? At least, a lot tighter than it is at the moment. Something like Monaco would be fine. (That might be better than the real shape, even if it is achievable.)
Sinagpore GP by welcomewelcome and FIRZiGTS use dirt banks and 'tree walls' to create a street circuit feel in key points. You could also add stands and retaining fences to create landmarks along the route.
Red and white stripe walls with gravel don't feature on this track. But you could use them outside of the junctions. It would look a bit like the escape roads and other routes were blocked off with tyre walls.
There's a weird bumpy chicane in the middle of the long left, which then leads to the tight chicane. I don't recall this feature on the real track. Indeed, that corner always looked like a pretty fast and left. It might sharpen a bit in the middle but I never saw a chicane there.
The ability to manually edit height would be an exciting development for the twisty sections of this track. One step at a time, though!
Another author has a Macau GP and is considering a remake using Andalucia. Placing the start position carefully and using a contour map might enable decent elevation. Perhaps the new 'canyon mode' editor would be another option, as the cliff sides could be interpreted by players as tall buildings.
