the Glen was one of the true Flowing tracks with a real rhythm...Kind’a hard to get back into Formula 1 after it left Watkins Glen NY in past years.
That full up and down road course was second to none. Remember the right into the ESS’s then uphill to the chicane, then down into the boot, uphill into the pit straightaway! Classic stuff!
Now it’s chase the car around the course, and maybe once per lap you’ll get an opportunity! Great, but kinda boring!
the Glen was one of the true Flowing tracks with a real rhythm...Watkins Glen is a classic. Even with the “bus stop” they put in after J.D. McDuffie’s death there and the disuse of the “boot” section it’s a great track. With the “boot” it’s even better. It flows with the terrain, it’s sweeping and pretty high-speed, it’s one of the few road courses that even the big NASCAR barges can run well on. You can certainly tell it’s not some Herman Tilke snoozer of a track!
