Yeah, we got to take a guided tour in some of the RFR trucks of the new course. They basically took us on the longest single track configuration, and man it looks awesome. There are some down right scary turns. Once you get up to the second elevation, it doesn't stay level like I assumed. It has its own elevation changes. There is one 180 degree corner that is coming off of some downhill esses that is off camber. Looks to be a good place to screw up. And also, the corner where you enter the "slide" (what they call that re-entrance from the upper portion to turn 11) could be pretty bad. Its after some long fast uphill esses, and you have to make a quick left then right down the slide. What makes it worse is the little kink in the track is not visible coming up the esses, as it is after the crest.
