Did you go last year as well? I went last year but didn't this year. I have not had a chance to watch the broadcast yet either. How did you like the track layout this year versus the one last year? I know they expanded the circuit to nearly 1 mile this year and it was about a 1/2 mile last year. From where is was sitting last year( i sat along the front straightaway near where they had the giant temporary Red Bull tower last year) I could see probably at least 90% of the circuit. Really liked that about the 3 GRC races I went to last year (DC, NY, and Las Vegas), could pretty much see the entire track no problem at those races. I went to the Detroit round this year, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the event I was a little disappointed about how little of the circuit could be see from anywhere. I got spoiled last year with being able to see the whole track!!
It was better in every way this year than it was last year. The track this year was ALOT bigger, and had more right hand turns. The jump was bigger this year, seating was better, and the attendance was about the same, if not bigger than last year. It was great also seeing interesting cars like Pat Moro's Sonic. Frankly, the only thing that I didn't like was how hot it was. Otherwise, I hope they don't change a thing next year. (Well,maybe a night race or an actual water hazard LOL) but that's it.
Correct. This year's track was built on top of the old GP track. Some of the corners were in fact the very ones that constituted the GP track. That's also why it was bigger this year.I'm pretty sure that the Washington circuit shared elements with the Le Mans circuit that they tried to get up and running back in 2002 as the "Grand Prix of Washington DC".
