They apparently have (I've not seen it) a great road race course. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge? BTW, F cars are OK in my book. They do, after all, push the boundaries as to auto engineering and that does filter down to everyone.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Their older vehicles were definitely in a highly defined breed, but now, their just a different breed by being not that much better (that's if they are better). I enjoyed Michael Schumacher while he was winning, but the world is much more than just Formula 1, and my go cart from over 20 yrs. ago is engineered much more like a Formula 1 vehicle than some street legal sports car vehicle. Pardon my harsh analysis, but I'll rest now and wait for those who have something to chip in with.
