turn 5 or 12 COTA
We're heading to Austin this fall for the USGP and would like thoughts on which PCA grandstands to choose from at turn 5 or 12.
From the track diagrams it appears 12 would be a better vantage point?

I've been to nearly every grandstand at COTA and I'd rate T12 much higher than T5. T12 & T15 are the two best corners to watch from, IMO, particularly if you can get a seat that can view down the long straight and the T12-T15 complex. Also, in T12, higher is definitely better.

Sat in T12 last year just at the braking point. Was awesome. You can see T1, parts of the esses T5 and then T12-T17 and entering T18. Great seats. A BAZILLION and one port o potties and plenty of beer/food vendors just outside of the stands too.
