Personally, while I am glad they are bringing more races to the US, I am going to watch this one on TV. The track layout reminds me of LeMans before the chicanes on the Mullsanne straight. The focus will be on top speed, with very little chance of overtakes. So it is going to be a series of drag races down the straights. And DRS is going to be a real advantage with this being all long straights with a few corners. Imagine coming out of turn 9 and getting DRS. You would have a HUGE advantage by the time you reach turn 11. Just my $.02 Clay |

I ended up as part of a mixed French-British-Canadian-American team at the Mulsanne kink. Seeing the big Group C cars go by on the other side of the armco at 230 mph was pretty exciting. |
