The grand course is like the full except you cut into the patriot area midway through the back straight. You run the patriot loop back to the bottom part of the North Course and then go back out to where the back straight would have ended in turn 14.

Why only do the full course? You're there to learn right? The north course has some awesome turns you never see on the full course.

The front straight is still the same... you may need to look into front brake cooling ducts. Most cares aren't designed to take track abuse... they need some TLC and different parts.

turns 4,5, and 6 on the south course are really fun. Definately not a turn like them on the full course. Cobra have you driven the grand course? I haven't been lucky enough to drive it yet.

^? I'll be at happy hour at Red Star and probably stay for dinner, then go home and have a nice evening with my fiance. Tomorrow I have to swap her brakes out on the mazda and continue working on the garage... was out of town last weekend so have a bunch to do in there.

Re: Anyone signing up for VIR North with Mazdadrivers?
the only thing i don't like about the grandcourse is trying to teach it to new students. 32 turns is kinda much for first timers.... 
I'm still debating on the grand course.. my car gets so sideways in the cut-through it's nauseating..
and yup i've got the nsx w/ the black wheels.
