I love this track but it's deadly. 
A lot of places are really bumpy, like the corners to the front straight - and if you run wide, you'll be sliding for a fair bit down the hill.  In a few places it's easy to hit a wall if you make a mistake, then spin back onto the track...

I remember from iRacing times that passing can be extremely treacherous.  Too many left-right-left kinda corners.  And tight ones, with nothing to spare.

yes saw some of biggest accidents in iracing at this track

Quick yt search shows the issues easily reproducible in game here.

Cold tyres this is so easy to do.

Grass is a good accelerator on the real track too.

Passing can be tricky if both drivers not fully aware of each other.  ;)
