It gets a bit mental coming in #2, and finally seeing #8 (hairpin) is a relief... reminds you can live another 1.5 minute until the nightmare continuously repeats itself
Man..... now I gotta get there.
Wasnt that circuit an Alan Wilson design?

Yea, nice place if you fancy stuff like high-speed levitation (not elevation, I meant levitation, literally) and cold tire corner entries lol read "Pro Only" man. It goes so fast in some sections I swear it looks like the trees are growing right in the middle of your race line... good reference points though, if you like nature

Seriously though, I miss that place, a lot. I'm so bloody jealous of James I had to go all negative on him

He was a good friend. I still think of him as such, but it'd be presumptuous of me to assume he feels the same; we've only spoken once in the last 9 years.

I met him as he was beginning the design on the Miller motorsports park tracks in Utah, in '04.

He is the most prolific track designer ever, with tracks all over the world. Many like to criticize that his tracks are too "computer generated", but the man uses the tools to create AMAZING tracks, and the facilities around them. And he's well known fir helping create motorsports culture where there isn't one. Look at his barber motorsports park as an example.
