Unrelated but if you want to see what a proper lap of M1 looks like:

Not just the cars, the track has to allow for good racing too. Just look at the Chris Harris video on the 600LT. Technically it’s a great track (Circuit du Charade) but its so tight and twisty that you would most likely get a parade-looking race. The same with Ascari, which appears to not be doing much beyond track…

Every track has its own special flavour, not necessarily only requiring change in track altitude obviously. Anything fast and flowing over the natural topography is bound to be a fan favourite. The beauty of sportscars is that they really can race anywhere, and at least in North America a lot of the premiere venues…

I was going more for historic tracks with significant elevation change that had seen F1 races prior; venues like Suzuka and Monaco still being on the calendar because of their prestige. You could as easily move to Fuji but where’s the fun in that?

It helps when you have 7km of circuit to play with.

Pretty much the reasons why all the historic sportscar tracks are still thriving. Unfortunately to bring a series like F1 or even Indycar to these venues would require massive infrastructure improvements, which is guaranteed to ruin the nature of the track.

The Viper is capable of doing that all day long. The avionics cap out at 9G automatically, so its a fairly regular maneuver at airshows. I got to meet him last year and he’s super cool. A telltale sign of a 9G pull is the way it vapes.

They say you cut the course!
