Da'ym, thats some elevation change. standing on turn one looking at the start? would have been sooo much fun if that was the last turn heading for the finish!....

They can lay a lot of pavement in pretty short order, but thats not building confidence in November...

Don't worry guys: we already have tickets, so it has no choice but to happen.








Right? Guys? At least the tickets are general admission, so if they haven't built the grand stands, we're still cool. By the way, any DEs around that time? I'm keen to get back to TWS with LSR soon!

Hopefully they don't cut corners to rush it!

I knew it was not Dave in the photo as the camera lens is still intact.

And I knew that Dave did not take the picture as there is no thumb over the lens.

That's looking back toward the start. What you are looking at in the braking zone. That's all we need is a shorter braking zone in F1
