ah, the track team has started (or continued) work on NOLA motorsports park https://twitter.com/ISITrackTeam/status/761260322518863873 looks an awfull lot like the pitbuilding of the karting track at NOLA EDIT :: and for those that might not remember, some time ago ISI did say it had licenced NOLA (inc. kart track), that was last year I think even before the Indycar race over there
The kart track looks awesome, with many layouts. The track itself seems a bit too much like Palm Beach, based on track map and watching the unfortunate Indy race there in the past. But it may be different/better when you actually drive it. It's always in the small details.
The Indycar race might have been enjoyable to watch, but Mother Nature had other ideas... they should go to Nola at a time in the year where it is less frequent for torrential downpours like what F1 Have done with Malaysia?
In terms of driving, it feels quite a lot different on track. The karting track was actually the reason it was signed though (I signed it before the IndyCar race was announced and run). Good commercial needs for it to be built still. This area does seem to be one of those places where you are always at-risk of a storm similar to Malaysia. I too wish they had tried a different time of year, but I think it was a promoter issue more than the wet event that doomed anything in the immediate future. Maybe one day.
