That'll be invaluable to catch the full flavor of the elevation changes, and especially this year with the new pavement.....

Yep! Did it the last two years and it was really eye opening for many people, not only the elevations, but also how much more camber there is right at many of the long apex curbs than people realize. This year, the curbing won't be nearly so "rubbered in" visually, but the way you drive the track doesn't change

Agreed.....the long outer loop out of the Bus Stop is like that--I get my car right down onto that inside curb and it sticks (barely!) all the way around. Same for the Toe and T10 (but not T9--reverse camber there!).

Good grief.

Like... "That will buff right out" ..... or, "don't confuse me with the facts"... those kind of "jokes"..
