The 70's version of the Glen is pretty close to the long course that I ran as far as layout, pits and the view from up on the hill. as mentioned above the chicane is different. in RF2 I do not remember turns 1 & 8 being as blind, yes there is a hump, but I could see braking zones a lot sooner IRL. traction and feel seem way different at any track we race then IRL, especially here - and really especially in turn 9. IRL I was cooking thru turn 9 section, in RF2 if you bobble just a bit you lose mega time. in the pits, all those cement garages are gone, but the layout is the same. pit entry and exit are the same. so, yes it is close 
The tracks sits high on a hill - from the spotter area or grand stands in turn one you can look down into a really picturesque valley and see the lake. this is in the finger lakes region in the state of new York. the race use to be held in the town of Watkins Glen thru the streets until moved here. By far it is my favorite track that I had raced..
