The current layout is a nice track with 3 distinct overtaking opportunities in braking zones (Turns 1, 3 and 7) spread out over the whole lap. I guess it's the raciest layout htey have ever had in Detroit. However, many people seem to be still stuck in the past and thus dislike the circuit. I don't get that. The place has produced some memorable races since reunification, including the final win of a Newman/Haas car (at the hands of Justin Wilson) and the surprise victory of (then) one-off starter Mike Conway for Dale Coyne Racing. Only one of IndyCar's appearances at the place was really dreadful, and that was when the race had to be halted a few years back when the track broke apart during the race with Scott Dixon being declared the winner.
I don't like double-headers (and neither do the promoters of Toronto) but as long as it's a success, why not keep both rounds at Detroit?
Here's wishing you a weekend of good and safe racing at Belle Isle.
