Simply put, it's as though you're driving around the inside of an huge bowl
(hence the name of the track). Its a short track - if you're a NASCAR fan,
imagine Bristol on steroids. While the "racing line" is drawn toward the
bottom, you're able to flit about the rim of the bowl perpendicular to the
plane of the ground. It reminds me very much of those threads about modern
F1 cars having sufficient downforce at speed to drive upside down in a
tunnel.
And believe me, if you don't have GPL its well worth getting even without
the benefit of this track. :-)
Say, do you have any inside info or was that just an intuitive guess? That
Monza banking reference has me wondering - after all, it is labeled as a
test track. Monza with banking would be brilliant! But isn't there some
problem with having the course double over itself? Seems to me that there
was quite a bit of talk about this some time ago.

Same here, Andre. I tried for over an hour to figure out how to get
quick enough to go under 12 seconds and not have the bottom of the car
start scraping, but to no avail. My best is 11.4 and its usually the
lap before I take off skywards. :(
I've tried easing off when I hear the scraping, but then I'm back over
12 seconds again and it doesn't seem to matter one jot which car I try,
or what line I take. So I'm 3 seconds off the pace of 8 to 9 seconds.
This is ridiculous. :(

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.
