After I've gone through the print records, and if I'm still not certain about some things, I'll go find video clips to see what, if anything, actually changed in the layouts of various circuits. Fortunately, that's becoming an increasingly easy task to accomplish.

Well yes that would be a very short lap. So, the current lap distance is 2.385 miles and not 2.31 miles, which is what I got from the Sonoma website.

I also came across this website,
http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/08/...pro-grand.html, when I was writing the intro and it said the track was 2.385 miles long but I thought they'd got it wrong, so I used the info from the Sonoma website, thinking they would have the correct distance. It can get a tad confusing.
