I have driven my 85 911 around that track. I was a just tad under 200. OK, I was under 100 as well. We just toured the track and saw it from a drivers perspective.




The yard of bricks from my driver's side window.

I honestly can't imagine that place full of 400,000 fans like the peak years.

And the TV announcers always said the corners were not banked, and that is not true. There is a pretty distinct banking, nothing at all like Daytona or a NASCAR track, but it is a banked corner.

Still, I can't imagine going 220 MPH with other cars inches away.
