Wow that's huge. I wonder how fast you could get going on that thing.

The Koenigsegg CCR has the record on that track..241 MPH. Its big enough so that it appears you are pretty much driving a straight line.

Here is a Ford GT on track:

Looks like your pretty much fucked if you crash. Would take quite a while to get the emergency crews out if your at the part of the circle opposite from the pits
