They need to by pass one or 2 of those corners before they enter the oval T1.

Yeah those consecutive hairpins are awful. There isn't enough straight between them to make a run on anyone.

They're hoping for some dive-bombing...

the shape of the new infield chicane is really wide and honestly kind of odd shaped ma be for passing?

It's going to create a lot of chaos and it will be awesome.

went to the test when they had the stands open a couple days back, there's room for improvement for sure but it's not bad.

Wish they didn't make the infield into a street circuit with how close the walls area. Also don't see how or where they could put the planned pedestrian bridge at, unless it's the infield (camping area during NASCAR oval race weekends) of the roval.

The concept is lame, the in-field layout is lame, the pussy-ass chicane in the tri-oval is lame, and Nascar is lame. It's fucking perfect.

Very true. Nascar is evolving. They are now including right-hand turns in their cookie cutter snoozfests

Hopefully, Rhys revisits this video once either iRacing rescans the track or someone makes it on rFactor

the funny part is that there is a actual go-kart track within feet from the main roval (just across the 1 infield road that goes to the garages and the tunnel

Bypass the infield garbage, run the oval with both the front and back stretch chicanes.

Just put in a temporary wall between the quad oval grass and the pit lane.
