And is the sound station still between turns 5 and 6, or is there a rover now too? I haven't been down in a few years....
no, it will NOT.
if u simply try to lift off throttle, you will still be caught.

What a drag for such a great track. Is it common at other tracks in CA? I think my home track is the opposite- people try to bring the loudest exhaust they can find.

imo, it's not all that great a track. it's only 11 turns and a gt3 can do sub 1:40 a lap. some AX courses last longer than that.

Only fun turns at LS is 4,7,8.

Thill only fun turns are 1,5,6.

Reno... all turns.

my back roads... more challenging then all these combine. Hence my fav. The back roads i visit remind me of driving the ring.

After awhile all tracks become boring. Maybe not the ring, and spa. But all the other ones do... maybe not Suzuka either....yea the rest are meh.
