Please tell me that when you say "NASCAR" you don't mean it's an oval track...

Good, I don't think I could stand a 30 minute race around an oval!

FYI...I am aware that the events for the next 2 race are for some reason not appearing in the calendar and I have called technical support (Gizmo) in to help resolve the problems.

There are more than two non oval tracks in NASCAR. Pocono springs to mind

I'm talking about real road courses, not flat triangle shaped "ovals".

You won't need a map, it's a fairly straightforward track. But it is a good track for racing, very wide, a variety of lines you can take, so this could well make for one of the most satisfying tracks of all for close racing, even if it's not very interesting for qualifying/hotlapping. From a season full of excellent car and track choices (respect to Shark for his research), I think (and hope) this could be a standout.

Well as long as it's more interesting than Buenos Aires. I'll be driving the 906 again, since I can't control the others.

Tibs - Top tip. Go to Nogrip. Go to GTL Hotlaps. Select track your interested in and your car/class choice. Look at the results your selection throws up. Choose one. Download and watch replay. In one foul swoop you get a) Realistic indicator of expected (target) lap time. b) Get to watch someone who knows the circuit drive the best line and finally c) If you use the follow cam you get a good idea of the circuit layout.

I suppose I need to put the file in the replays folder?
