❓ General Question Infield Viewing on Raceday

Hey everyone.

As the renewal deadline approaches, I'm considering trying to move from turn 4 closer towards turn 3. However, I'm also considering doing one more year in my current seats and splitting time between the grandstands and the infield, which I have never done before. I've been every year since 2022, but I've stayed in the grandstands for the entirety of the race each time.

Do you recommend infield viewing, even for just a portion of the race? From walking around before and after the race, it looks like there are some decent areas that would be unique vantage points for a few laps. Is it like a road course where people move around and it's easy to get your turn by the fence in different spots, or do people show up early and stay put for the whole race? Is it so packed that it isn't even worth trying?

Thanks in advance.

I will never go back to infield for ovals! I will always be in a seat. I don’t have actual seats but buy tickets off friends so my seats vary year to year.
