PERFECT! Just tell the wifey that you're vacationing at a lake in Argentina! Just don't mention the cup car rental until you're there.

Yes, but it did just get repaved and it is nice and smooth. Regardless, we are lucky to have a track within city boundaries. I can wake up in my own bed, make some coffee, and be at the track in 20 minutes.

Brilliant track in Argentina! Looks amazing!

Hey, they're one step ahead of us on grabbing everyone's retirement money. When that happens here, maybe we can "stimulus" something like this into reality.

Sweet.
But if one had a bad off, I would hope that their seat doubles as flotation device.

"Back in the day" there was a good chance for that on certain tracks such as Monaco but with today's guard rails, I think you can relax and have your off without being afraid of swimming...

One of our users sent me some video and data from that track, and it was mesmerizing! Spectacular, fast, and challenging!

A Saleen S7R scored an upset FIA GT win at that track last November.

Yes in Georgia. It was open for a race back in 1996 - on Hutchinson Island. Not as scenic though.

What a great track you found.

Pretty, but not very forgiving. Reminds me of that new city track that F1 raced on last year at night.

Correct, as it was referenced in the video link from my post (#10) above.
