It was hot and humid as hell! Fun track though. Watch out for the orange curbs -- bent my right front damper in the first few laps. Lol!

Hitting the orange pyramids is no bueno, and straddling one in a low car isn't a good idea either. They are a necessary evil, however, as one weekend I was there without them people were straight-lining the esses.

The only corner without one is T19 - it is painted orange, but has very little height, likely sympathy for someone slow trying to get off the track while being pounced on by following cars out of T18.

Interesting video, thanks for sharing.

Those orange pyramids are nasty, sorry to hear about your damper. Nice driving.
