Track looks very dull. Only potentially interesting corners appear to be 6 and 7.



Indeed

I'm already missing Belle Isle...

I was thinking that this track is longer tbh. And I just noticed that start is on that biggest straight so I guess we will have a lot of carnage on that hairpin

This will be something.

I'm looking forward to this race as it seems like Nashville with less derpiness. Real shame to see Belle Isle go tough.

It looks like a really dull track to drive. A lot of potential for action (or stupidity) at that hairpin, though. Are some of the sections as narrow as they look in the sim? That has track blockage written all of it. It's either going to be a great race or a complete mess.

it'll be the latter considering actual driving standards

Practice delayed by electrical fault in race control. Good start.

that pitlane is nuts

Track is not as dull as the map. Some tricky and bumpy turns.

Where Power just went wide is gonna be a corner someone'll block if they try to keep going instead of giving up the corner.

Now he's hit the wall...

Pit exit will be dicey

Canapino hit the wall, got the inside and sent him to the outside.

With all the surface changes, elevation changes and the off camber corners, we better break out the yakety sax Sunday

So the layout truly is dull but I gotta say, the bumpy surface looks good enough to make this compelling. It's pretty fun to watch these guys fighting the car around these otherwise boring corners.

Coming up on slow cars here is a little too close at points.

6-7 is proving to be real bumpy

Sections of this remind me of a weird street track from rFactor1 for some reason

I think there's go-kart tracks that are wider than turn 1 is
