For those looking at the Armco barriers - I don't think those are the typical ones we see on the freeways etc., but a heavier duty type - but I cannot say how effective they are at whatever level of high speeds that they'd be allowing on their DE type classes there.

It doesn't matter what you made the Armco out if you install it incorrectly! That Armco has gaps especially at the bottom. Many cases of Drivers dying when hitting Armco and submarining under it!

IIRC TC - I've seen something similar on some track somewhere & tall - but without the bottom gap. That said - even the top height at PEC is probably too low as well, so time will tell if they have any safety problems (as Mark H said).

I any case, it's basically only used to take potential buyers - or someone wanting to drive a new model without purchasing it - to go around a loop to explore street level handling & performance only.

Even at that, they'd be better served to have used one of the energy absorbing systems used on freeways & interstates with 65-75 mph speed limits, which are closer to what they do at PEC - rather than those rails typically used on lower speed roads at curves & drop-offs.

There is also a defectively made Armco or similar "guard rail" product which separates incorrectly & skewers drivers/passengers/cars, which are & will be liability problems for state & local governments. They've been in the news already.

But then, this post was to show a cool car going around the ATL-PEC, & not debate guard rails.

Personally, IMHO - you're better off just renting a Porsche from Hertz, Enterprise's special div., etc. for a weekend or week to evaluate, & explore one for your own purchase, or to try out - then go on a mini-road trip!
