PMS? So you are referring to punto morto superiore? (Top dead center in Italian). Don't ask me why I know that I watch too much tv.

:lol: :thumbs_up:
Yeah. That's what I meant.

I owned a Porsche as a kid and learned a lot of German from the Owner's Manual.
My buddy owned an Alfa and we figured out a lot of Italian from that car, too.

:? Hmmmmm.....several interesting 'targets' along the outside of many turns. I guess you can't afford to be wrong too often on this circuit.

I couldn't agree with you more Frank, not to mention this track will be real hard on the brake systems and eat up tires.
it's going to be a real finesse track and can't see how you could have to many long endurance races here, but who knows we'll see can't wait to do a track day there in the Z and find out and going to be real careful through the corners and keep the car on the track or I can see a lot of damage to the car from all the rock ledges, but then again we may be surprised after all an animation is just that..

I was surprised at the 'carousel' at NJMP. The idea was to get going around it as fast as possible of course (it IS a racetrack, after all), but it was flat, not dished like the Nurburgring carousel, so if you got going too fast you could just fly off the track. There was a big, slanted 25ft high dirt wall quite near the track which would have let you slide UP with no problem......but I could just picture cars tumbling back DOWN after they lost momentum near the top. We weren't going to get fast enough to do that in sportscars, but any open-wheel Formula car might have.
Sometimes I wonder who plans these things.
