As for the facelift, it was definitely overdue
With RFR as it stands, you are in luck!

In all honesty, the front straight (where that incident occurred) at RFR is a bit hairy with a moderately powerful street car and no cage. Its long enough that you can just get too much speed. We laugh about it now, but until the dust settled it wasn't quite all fun and games.

If they ever open back up, you can always just lift a little before going into the esses after the front straight. Going 100+ into those esses is a bit much. 80, on the other hand, doesn't feel quite as hairy. Of course, that's depending on whether you want to even tempt it or not.
