This sounds amazing!
I go to Vegas all the time & if this happens I'll have to trailer the RS down to Nevada!
There are sooo many never ending straight roads in Nevada, you could also try top speed for a few minutes.

The elevation changes are critical to the Ring's identity.....

They also will need about 100 different paving contractors, each with a different pavement (with different coefficients of friction) to do randomly selected sections of the track. Then just add a sprinkler system that will randomly wet down portions of the track, Armco 6 feet off the edge of the pavement, and trees/walls/fences to assure that you can never see apex from turn-in, or track out from apex. Oh, and change American liability law. Might be a few accidents......
