It doesnt look like anything that would constitute "$30k in deperciation.
That surface looks like it is starting out as smooth as I've ever seen at a RallyCross, but you'll need to talk to some of the guys there to see how it holds up. After a hundred runs of STIs and guys on gravel tires corners get rutted, dug out, and roost berms build up. They do their best to keep the course up, but with ground clearances much higher than an Elise in mind. Just don't assume from that video that the course remains like that all day. If it was, then getting dirty will be your main problem, but I doubt it stays that solid all day.
