Those laps will be so long that Fox can do a commercial break and fans will only miss 1 lap.

And the video flyover from Jayski I can't seem to embed.


This track is seriously badass and I am now pumped for this event. At first, just based on the map I felt a bit underwhelmed. But at 3.4 miles long that changes the scale dramatically and you see this in the fly-over video. "Turn" 1 looks like a wide-open kink into the 90 degree turn 2. Turns 4 and especially 5 look insanely fast and all in a concrete canyon. The challenge and speed into so many tight turns is going to absolutely test the drivers and cars. Just for reference Chicago was 2.1 miles. This San Diego track looks like an F1 street circuit. Totally awesome.

Those caution laps are gonna be diabolically long.

A good reason to put a restart line off turn 5 or 7.

SVG and Zilisch will make it interesting.

SVG and Zilisch will make it interesting.

I think SVG still has him covered for a year or two due to experience in similar cars.

I wouldn't bet on that myself. I think it is heads up, whoever gets a break when they are road racing.
