My guess is the tracks will be fast but have a true hairpin which should look really cool on the e-brake. In theory a lot of overtaking points although some drivers seem to see anything as a "gap"

Most impressively is that it is on the front straight away at these speedways and not tucked away. On the Saturday we should be an hour or so after the Nationwide race so could still have 40-60,000 people in attendance. At Texas we are the warm-up for the IndyCar race that night.
One observation on the location, and that is when NASCAR have accidents on the exit of T4 on Tri-ovals ... wreckage or avoiding cars and sometimes both end up on the Grass infield of the tri-oval.

Not sure how having a RallyX set up in the middle of that is going to work?
