Hmmm. A Tilke design? No thanks.

You couldn't be serious. It's a track, and a long one at that. I'm sure even his tracks that may not suit F1 very well will be more than enough for street cars.
I bet you'll be itching to get on it like everyone else. From what I've seen of Atlanta Motorsports Park, which is a Tilke design too, it will be a very good one as well.
I don't pass up tracks, unless it's roebling, I hate roebling.

I guess my sarcasm wasn't evident, was it?
Yes, of course I would LOVE to drove it. I was being sarcastic.

We've been hearing about this for years, but are still waiting to see anything really happen. So, I would love for this to happen, but I have to remain skeptical. The *rumor* is that it has backers from the middle east now (hence the new plans for a runway that can accept private jets), but again that's only a rumor. We'll just have to wait and see...
Also, last I knew, their permitting only allowed X number of people to be out there at one time, so it wouldn't work so great for more than small events. I haven't heard if that has changed...

As for HP, forced induction is really the way to go up here. NA is usually only fun when your competition is all NA too.

I agree, and I'm not sarcastic about it.... The guy has no concept of flow or following the landscape.... His tracks always look like some kindergartners scribble.
I would certainly jump at the chance to drive it and it would most likely be a neat track, but it would be much better done by someone whose name isn't Wilson or Tilke.
I'd post some pics of how my 22-250 wakes them up (groundhogs, but for all intents and purposes the same thing 
), but last time I did some New Yorker couldn't handle them, and decided I was a sadistic killer.
