Update

Good photos, any chance you could give a better indication where the small Porsches mound is being developed? Any chance of putting it on a google map?

Thanks in advance

Apparently not. Anyway, you couldn't see the cars in the last straight before the first Ford chicane.

I have a friend that works for Porsche. I may have asked how much hospitality in the new structure would cost for the race weekend. Anyone care to make a guess?
