i havent been on a large number of tracks but i have always found watkins glen to be one of the smoothest. is the main purpose of this paving to improve the curbing? how does a repave affect lap times?

As I understand it, it's to..

- get rid of the concrete patches
- eliminate the weepers
- smooth out the uphill straight from the toe
- revise the curbing all to FIA spec

From the toe of the boot on up the hill was definitely Bumpy!

This was the main complaint from the IRL.

Hotels have been a complaint from the $big teams too....
