That track is more like one continuous left turn. There is no lifting, no braking, no shifting. what's the driving skill there, it's more like a video game than racing.
Ever try it? Not as easy as you are thinking it is.

For some reason I'm thinking this is the wrong Ana Beatriz...

FYI - don't know how many of you watch IRL, ALMS and F1, however the networks have conspired this week so you can not Tivo all 3, they overlap on times

The best I came up with was to tape ALMS & IRL on Sunday and go for the repeat of F1 shown on Wednesday.

I am gone from Friday until Wed anyway so it's not a problem for me to wait until then Cross posting in ALMS thread...
