Yes we will be using the short one we created for 1988. We have several revamped/new tracks on the plate and it was simply impossible to do it all in time. To compensate, we will be racing f.e. a full new Long Beach, created from scratch and in high detail.

Wow awesome! Can't wait.

Also I wanted to note that Portland has a bit too many laps listed there.

I can't quite tell which one is more demanding, but the pre '88 layout seems a bit more technical, including the drop down to that chicane scratchchin
