Ok, here's a video of a couple of laps. Unfortunately, I left my flash drives in the trailer and all I had was a little of my earlier practice on Saturday with some slower traffic at a couple of the key corners, so don't get on me too bad a about a couple of the corner lines. Click "watch in high quality" on the bottom right of the YouTube screen.

The video starts at the entrance to the back straight. My fastest time this weekend was 1:27:6. Only 3 27's but lots of 28's.

Great video Peter. This video really emphasizes how patient you need to be with these late apex corners.

Thanks Peter !!!, seems that both turns leading to back and front straight will be an area collecting a lot of cars going into the wall, although I must say that the track is incredibly wide !!

I would say the last turn before the front straight won't collect so many cars in the wall only because it's very slow and if someone spins, they're not going very far. I saw 2-3 spins that only went 10-15 ft. and that area is VERY wide.
