    I see some cues from Road America and Mid-Ohio in some of those corners. Looks like a neat track, but I agree I don't see this being better than Road Atlanta.

    Yeah I saw some in-car video. Looks VERY tight, 2nd gear corners? :0 Should be a blast for the lower HP cars. Not sure how you can say RA isn't fun or challenging when it's rated as one of the toughest tracks in the world by many drivers.

    It's not really comparable. Not a bad track it seems, but not in the same league.

    Oh I wasn't saying it was comparable, but I can see where they took some cues like the keyhole corner from Mid-Ohio with it's off camber decreasing radius turn onto a straight and the downhill decreasing radius large sweeper from Road America. Both absolutely top notch tracks on par with Road Atlanta, but above what looks to be a fun but not nearly as challenging intermediate circuit.

    Oh no I just meant AMP wasn't not those. I did hear they took some cues from other tracks, which is cool. I do look forward to driving up there, it's nice to have two tracks very close by (RA 10 min, AMP 45 min). I wish I could make this Tracks Unlimited event but have to work and don't have a trackable car at the moment.
