Road Atlanta is the reverse of VIR. RA = Downhill "S"s, short straight between 6 and 7, long back straight, pucker factor turn 12. VIR = Up hill "S"s, short straight between 11 and 12, shorter long back straight, off camber turn 17. Was told the track designer made an effort to copy VIR.
It was not until I raced RA, and had talks with others, that it hit me about the similarities. Helped me improve my section time between turn 11 & 12 at VIR, I was coasting/lifting between the two (not coasting/lifting at RA 6 & 7, since the distance was longer), thinking it was one turn (not thinking it was two turns).
