On the days the track is not used by the members, it will be available to the public for rentals. I would expect to see a Grand Am Event, and plenty of SSCA/NASA action here throughout the year.

That actually surprises me because Herman Tilke is a pretty crappy designer in general terms. Most of his F1 tracks have too many useless chicanes. This one looks great, though.
