Agreed -- it has a rhythm to it like all good tracks, and the back section from the main straight to the carousel is so challenging -- if you get off line, difficult to get back on. I know it's heresy but so much more fun than the Glen I think, where its like straight, turn, straight, turn, with the exception of the esses of course.
Yeah anyone who is complaining about the drive I could almost guarantee they took the turnpike. I've done that trailering and there are some miserable hills (mountains) where my Tahoe (before I had a real tow vehicle) would only go about 35 mph at full throttle. The lanes are narrow, there are long up and downhill sections. The downhill decreasing radius turns with trucks to your side are the WORST while trailering. If you start swaying, what do you do? Brake? Go even faster?? Esp when the winds whip through the mountains.
What is the speed limit on 80 Geza? 70??? You can fly across the state on 80 and not usually that much traffic.
Quote:Brian, I agree. Mid-Ohio is THE BEST TRACK I HAVE BEEN ON! It is very technical, fast and has fun fast turns like "Madness" where you get air. The elevantion changes make it challenging and visibility is quite good with few blind corners. It also offers more run off areas for hunting expeditions instead of blue walls.
The drive on 80 is so much more relaxed (you get to use cruise control) than going through Baltimore and Washington and other limited access highways to VIR.
