I remember that Iowa Grand Am race! Iowa had just come out, and was the new kid on the block. Back then, iRacing would often put roval races on new ovals (see: Kansas) to force all the roadies to buy it too (or to miss a week.) Anyway, tl;dr it was pretty fun but kind of a mess. The turn off the backchute into the road course was where most the action happened, along with people smacking the wall coming back onto the oval.

The Kansas Roval put on a heck of a race in 2013 for the Grand-Am (now IMSA) series. The infield was chaotic due to all the cars being trimmed out for the oval section, and we got a battle between one of the sportscar GOAT's in Scott Pruett and a young gun we know today as Jordan Taylor

The short config, sure, but the club's T2-T5 and the U-Turn after the chicane were great. Also I think some of those rovals might have been run in the first pro series in 2009 using the dp.

Last year we ran Season 11 of the F3A (Australia) iracing league (the best league in the world btw). The season was named “The American Tour” and as part of the 10 race calendar, we raced both well know US road courses and the left field roval tracks. Kansas Road, Legacy Texas combined, Autoclub competition course, WWTR road and Daytona were all included. Safe to say the Dallara F3 wasn’t built for the harsh banking transitions 😂 Streams of these races are on KZitem btw

My guess with that track was that it was only included as a future proofing measure for if they ever figured out how to realistically replicate karting on the sim. Both of the Rockingham infield-only layouts were notable in the WKA karting circuit in the 80s and 90s (as well as the full layout for the lay down enduro kart guys.) Larger infield-only layout is perfect for Legend Cars (when Andy owned the track they did a fall/winter series on it) - just not enough pit stalls to even be usable in hosted

1:37 In the first season of Triple Bypass Racing King of the Hill, I set the ARCA car up on the Kansas Roval the day before we ran the Kansas race in the same car. It looked fun on paper - Normal Oval, Brake, Relatively straightforward Chicane, then a drag race down to the end, turn around, Drag race back the way you came, another Chicane, and then back out onto the Oval. Sounds FUNNNN. It is not. We did it again in Season 2 with the Legacy GT3 cars, and that was a LOT more fun than the ARCA was. 2:55 Ran this in King of the Hill, too. It's GREAT fun in the Cadillac CTS-V, and probably would be good in the Aussie Supercars, as well. You really have to get over to the left on the straight section after the harpin. There's really excellent air to be caught there! 4:24 Man, we are 3 for 3 here! We ran this in King of the Hill in the Formula Ford THIS SEASON and it's a friggin' HOOT! I LOVE this configuration in a low power open wheeler... 7:00 Four for five, Justin! Monza Left Oval is on the schedule for THIS season of King of the Hill with Triple Bypass - but not in a NASCAR.

I've done a couple of these! I raced the Atlanta Road course in the SLPCC S4 2020, it was actually more fun than I expected, but it definitely feels like a quickly hashed together road course without a lot of character. Incidentally that exposed bit of barrier at 3:27 is hilariously dangerous because that straight is a possible overtaking opportunity if you've got a good run out of the previous corner, and for getting past slower classes. I remember seeing someone go a bit too far left and get completely annihilated by it. I also did Gateway Road in USF2000 S4 2022, that was honestly one of my favourite tracks that season, it's really well suited to that car!
