For reference, the old CART record from 2000 is 1:13.056 (116.294-mph). Admittedly, however, the right-hander coming off the back stretch did not have that curb on the inside when CART ran the circuit, and therefore, that corner used to be much quicker. That change also makes the course a bit longer now, 2.385 miles instead of 2.360 miles when CART used the longer layout.
Thanks for that. I had a devil of a time trying to unravel which track layout was used and when, what with various sources contradicting each other.
