Driver Insight: “I love street circuits. You have to be really precise and if you make one mistake you probably have a problem and you will end up in the wall. This creates more adrenaline. Walls? I don’t recognize them, except if I scratch the wall with my mirror. I understand the circuit has been repaved. I am excited to see and drive on the new pavement. New pavement always creates more grip, which will affect cornering speed, create faster lap times and that will be more exciting for the drivers and the fans.” – Mario Farnbacher, No. 23 Team Seattle/Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT America
