The issue with adding a viewing area inside the track up by oak tree would be spectator safety. The track pinches down pretty hard there and with the elevation changes between turn 10, oak tree and the huge dip in the middle any spectators would be basically eye level with the track. Unless the area was fully fenced with catch fencing it would be extremely dangerous and then it would add stuff to hit when a car goes off. Turn 10 is very fast and full commitment even in a street car on street tires. Lots of potential for problems, plus it would ruin the look and feel of the track IMO.
Something down on the outside of turn 1 / inside turn 2 would work well i think. |

Gotcha. Thanks. I agree it would change the feel a little, but I was watching just wondering just how much fans had access to. I'm spoiled, with road Atlanta being my home track and Sebring my other off-attended event.

The patriot course inside the full course is used throughout the weekend for spectator hot laps.
