Watched it and thought it was, as usual great, VIR action.....was sad to not see much of the MINI tho.
Highlight of that telecast was the two Porsches flying up the uphill esses one after another and catching air on every gaiter, lap after lap. It takes a pair to throw those cars around going full throttle up the hill. That's a 5th gear, foot-on-the-floor hill.
