times are too low... preferred the 1:35s in the old track

Be interesting to see whether the new number of laps (67? Correct me if I'm wrong) correlates with the faster laps to give a similar length race to last year. I guess the race will be longer (in time) because the old track was a car-breaker, and if the race ran the full 2 hours there'd ahrdly be any cars left.
