Default New road course in Orlando

Web site.

http://cfroadcourse.com/default.aspx


Google map location. It looks like a huge parking lot that was converted.

28.412163,-81.379477
Select Satellite view..

Its only 1 miles in lenght and not sure how wide.

Rental is 6 k a day for weekends. Not sure how this compares to the Rally track.

nice . since its in an industrial area the noise limitations shouldn't be to bad .. need to read through the track rules to find out

also it would be nice if they had a video tour of the track on their site

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Sebring-like prices for a Gainesville-like track?

Agreed. They're stretching trying to get $6k/day for that place.

#11 of the rules is interesting. Here's an excerpt:
Foul or abusive language, aggressive posturing, fighting, threats or any other activity deemed illegal, offensive or unsportsman-like shall be tolerated towards other participants, officials, staff or management.



I have got to to make it out to a track day. It is something I have always wanted to give a shot. One of these days........

$6K / day?? OUCH!!
Now for the understatement of the year... I really don't see them getting very much business from a private renter.

Sebring is about 14K with insurance nowadays.

How many turns in this one mile track?
