And I mean no offence to those that love MMP-but I just wish it had more to offer than a couple pretty buildings (that I am not shown in the broadcast-there is a museum there...) and black new pavement.
Actually I am 180 degrees to that opinion. I think that we are treated to a wide variety of track types and layouts with the ALMS and I consider 'our race series' to be part of the experience that is Le Mans. And IMO the perimeter layout at MMP is the closest thing we have to prepare our representatives for the Circuit de la Sarthe and could not come at a better time in the schedule!!

Although I do empathize with you on the stark nature of the grounds, per se!
