I noticed there's 3 corners (on the virtual map at least) that are like 150* rather than a full 180* into two parallel lanes. While this is kind of a waste of space, do you guys think it's better for racing or worse? Allows the outside to be faster but also makes it easier to take the line away.

Just early race day chatter!

I'm not sure how the lines will develop, though I thoroughly enjoy that big right handed sweeper.

It appears to be a 200 degree'r. Cool

That start is crazy. That is going to be very interesting. Looks like you could get a great start from being in the back and still come out up front because of the corner sweeping like that so I think it's feasible you will see all the top guys up front which should make for some good racing.

on the start yes your dial-a-meter is fairly accurate appearing although, I was taking the whoops before the sweep into account. What's your meter say that corner is in a full lap mode?

Its the same layout as Phoenix 2014 except flipped and obviously different jumps. So that should give you an idea of how lines might develop.

Right hand flat track first corner with next turn a bowl shaped left hander.

Should be massive takeouts and pileups in that left hander

Looks like a Barcia type of start. Too bad he isn't racing

I am in full wait and see mode. After seeing the drawing and graphic, along with pics of the track last week, I thought it would be horrible and even said so on here.

Then it turned out to be one hell of a track with some great racing and passing.

So yeah, no judging from me anymore...at least not until after the a heat or two.
