Take a look at the design of Barber MotorSports in Birmingham, Alabama. That track was recently built and houses both PDE and many "typical" races. It is a very technical course with a relatively short straight and 15 turns in 2.3 miles.

I was quite surprised how well the 911's used for PDE did on the track. I admit this was the first time I drove a rear engine auto at track speeds, but, did not feel that the Porsche was overpowered or the course was too technical.

We will see next week whether my turbo is overpowered for SP - I sort of doubt it, although, I suspect I may run faster lap times than my Mini or even my Boxster S.
