Default Fresh Asphalt at Pacific Raceways!

In case anyone's wondering what the new backside paving job looks like, here's some video of it.
They've taken out some bumps, widened some areas, and made a couple turns quite different from before.

Looks great! Time to get your lap times in while the track is still hot and fresh! Looks like they tamed down the killer 5A/B curbing. Is it faster through there now?

Oh and it looks like the Porsche bumps are gone now too. I'm going to have to re-learn 3B all over again.

Thanks for posting. Wow, looks fantastic! Look how wide it is now. It looks much faster now. Especially, through 4, 5A and 5B. The exit on 6 was always a bit tight and the asphalt was rough outside of the racing line. Now, it looks like we can use the passengers fog completely. Thanks again for sharing. I am getting excited to go!

Yea, the school education days they help out with a line. Last winter I was behind a guy that nicked one into my path, you should have seen how many pieces they explode into when you hit them at 100 when it's 35 out!

Damn that WRX looked like it was going to go for a spin!
