I'm going to put in a plug for NOLA. It's brand new so many of you guys might not have tried it. I think it is a lot of fun. It's ISI/397 so the quality is high. If you haven't tried it please do so. See if you think it would be a good one to run. I'd recommend the "A" course with the boot in the infield. Indy straight-lined the esses which kind of sterilizes it. I suppose that is to make for a braking battle at the end.
EDIT: Here is an Indycar lap by Scott Dixon.

Unfortunately the inaugural Indy race was a heavy rain slide and crash fest. From what heard from some track people was that Indycar did a horrible job of promoting the race, even after they spent money remapping the track for them. So there are bad feelings there that may keep them from ever trying another race. It's a shame. Apparently the drivers liked the course.
You might be able see some other various vids there that I've posted over the years. Check out the Michael Schumacher one (2011 Spa, he went off at Les Combes). I'm like a little kid in the presence of legendary celebrity. My hand is the last one patting him as he rides off. With the horrible accident that followed not too much later this experience is much more of a great memory.
