I'd be interested and I know many of my track friends would too.

$850 for 3 days is a great price for a F1 track, we pay more than that to drive Laguna Seca with a 92db noise limit.

OK, wasn't sure who's willing to drive 3k miles round trip for 3 days. But I guess why not?

COTA is East of Austin. Normally a 2.75 hour drive, 2.25 hours for a Rennlister pulling an enclosed, 2.0 with an open, 1.5 in an RS with a V1 and right seat lookout.

Thumbs up
I am very interested along with speedoflight. I trailer my Cup car from Dallas to Sacramento in 24 H so it's doable. Will have to bring tons of spares to ensure the car can be fixed if break down

What is weather like at Austin in March? Chance of rain?

The track was designed for F1, with F1 cars in mind. Guess what a F1 car and my 430 F1 have in common: 45/55 weight distribution and lightweight, perfect for transitions.

We can do 3 rounds of knock-off qualifying with 24 drivers, following the F1 format, then a 2 hours Enduro DE Cup session to emulate a F1 race. Whoever completes the most distance on track, wins the DE.

I've already responded yes to the same email
