Too wide in some places and nowhere near wide enough in others!

If it comes back next year, hopefully they are able to widen a few sections. It doesn't need too much more in places - just a meter or two more. But they'd need to carve up and reprofile some curbing and sidewalks, which is probably a nightmare to do with city councils and town planning in America.

I must admit I like the sections going over the bridge.

Now the pace car almost came to a complete stop due to the safety team on track.

The start finish line is ill placed, or they need to move the restarts to the bridge.

Agreed.

I really think this track has *heaps* of potential.

But they need to sort out the corner exits in some places. Way too tight.

What's the record for the most number of cautions in an IndyCar race?
