It's been a couple of days since I drove this one but I think it takes
~50s a lap at 210-215mph which would make it just under 3 miles in
length. At those kind of speeds even with minimum levels of wing a 1994
spec F1 car (on which GP2 is based) would generate something of the
order of 3000 pounds of downforce against a car weight of 590kg / 1100
pounds. This should be sufficient to keep the car on the track with no
problem.
It may be that the track grip has been altered to attempt to mimic the
banking of a superspeedway oval because GP2's graphics engine does not
support track banking.
