It does, old pictures like this show how the track has really changed through the years. My brothers girlfriends grandparents use to go to races a lot way back when and have pics, probably about the same time as this was taken, I remember seeing just a fence right there at pit out and being like. :eek:

At the 2008 Petit Le Mans, i was in front of the Corvette area where Max Papis and Johnney O'Connell were doing an interview for the fans.

Johnny was one of the drivers of the Nissan 300zx Turbo IMSA GTS cars and said the 2008 GT1 spec Corvette C6.R could lap the new Road Atlanta (with 10a and 10b) faster than the 800hp 300ZX with just that long straight onto what is now turn 12.

Yeah most of the new cars are faster on this current setup then when they had the gravity cavity, which is amazing.
