Who designed PBIR anyway?
Peter the canards, flics, dive planes.... Look great! If they fall off and I find them I'm keeping them...lol
Have you seen the carbon dive planes Tom Kerr is running? They are bigger,2 per side ad look cool too and highly funtional too.
I wonder if any Universities in the south have a wind tunnel and some students would like to do some aero testing?

Yes, I looked at the CF dive planes but to big and crude. the 4.0 ones are sexy to me.
No testing on my car aero, I need it every day and ignorance is bliss.

love mid ohio more than roebling
you drive orange car with 666 on the side thru north georgia mountains and you call me crazy
That orange car stayed in that position the entire morning.
Michael, you're crazy. PBIR is 20 minutes from my house and therefor very convenient, but I'm willing to drive all the way to Roebling to drive that track (6+hours) while yesterday Peter and I politely declined to drive by ourselves for 30 minutes when the track was offered to us after doing corporate lapping for about an hour.

I like them both.
Different, both good tracks for the size they are, but Ohio does not live up to some hype, while Roebling gets bets beat up a lot over facilities, managment and small size, but I love the track layout.

Mid Ohio is nice, but there are tracks I like better.
I can see why a racer likes mid ohio, its very technical......but I am a DE guy that loves an aderline rush without the fear of balling up my street car.
Mid Ohio has some dangerous corners
When I see F1 runoff it is a bonus

I've been on both once each. Other than the fact that they're both relatively small, I found they couldn't be more different with the feel. RR has elevation changes, trees, and some weird but interesting corners. PBIR is for the most part dead flat with low speed sweepers. I'm not saying its easy, it's just not nearly as fun. The fact that the paddock at PBIR is so small with no tree cover sucks too. We were double parked at the last event just trying to fit. I'm a little spoiled having Sebring so close, but I enjoyed RR whereas PBIR I will probably never go back to.
