Just some long distance observations....
Some one has already commented that:
1. The carpet already has a groove and by the end of the race it could get quite interesting...
2. The on-road track has 1 LARGE oval section...
3. Speed will win over driving skills, my opinion only, but I hear/read something of the same somewhere in here...
4. It's also too big of a race, the sponsors have to be over-worked just to keep everyone happy.....
5. 10 second laps...... The leaders will have to deal with "lapped" cars all the time, no breaks on the course....
