I've been ro Rockinham twice to watch the CAT series and it could have been built better. You get a great view but there is only really one line on the track so not much overtaking.. the US has far better one mile tracks that do produce overtaking.
lol, before rockingham was built there was nothing there. What i was saying is that with a bit of forward planning and confidence in what they were building this circuit COULD have included a grand prix standard circuit as well as an oval in the same way as Indianapolis.

There are many ovals in the USA that also include a road circuit.

Infact i cant really see why it wouldnt be entertaining to include on oval race in the GP season
