Circuit Barcelona-Catalunya a good (test) track?

On Monday the preseason begins in Spain at Circuit Barcelona-Catalunya. We will stay there for 2 weeks which includes 8 days meant for testing. There are promising signs that this will be a great season with lots of exciting races. But who will win? We will probably see The title candidates the coming two weeks.
Circuit
The track is 4.655 Km and counts 16 corners. It was built in 1991 and was just in time to host the Spanish Grand Prix the same year. The wind direction can change over the day so the teams need to be on the top of their game to get good results out of the tests. It is a track where a given compound can work great in the preseason but at the race weekend doesn't work. The circuit is ideal for testing because of its long straits and fast corners but after corner 10 you got some slow corners were a team can make the difference. So a team can really test the car in a wide range of corners and on the straight.

History
Since 1991 it has hosted the Formula1 and it still doing so this year. It has proven to be a track with many obstacles for the teams and drivers. Such as the wind and the here wide arrangement of corners. It also has hosted the MotoGP since 1992 a year after it was built. Because so much testing has been done on this Circuit, Formula One drivers and mechanics are extremely familiar with it.
When first used the cars could overtake very easy following in the last two corners and using the drag on the straight to pas. But with the aerodynamic evolution of the F1, the cars couldn't do this anymore so the track changed in 2007. They replaced the first of two final sweepers with a slow chicane in an effort to improve overtaking.
