Barber is a great bike track. Its straights are too short to be a proper car circuit IMO, beyond club racing. It's also expensive to fix up, should your cars go off the pavement.

I agree with Mr. Collins on this one. Barber is terrific fun in junior formulae and it provides great bike racing but I believe a term I've heard thrown around is the track is "... too stoppy-starty..." to suit the big race cars.

A track with lot of corners can give answers that an oval can't. If you need to test a car about steering and paddle shifters that's a good place IMo
