I think CCW was easier and has smoother transitions compared to CW.
Seems like there more visability as to elevation changes too.
I liked it!

Aaron Bitterman warned us about the first turn before the straightaway (sunset?) in the CCW config. We all were wary and cautious, since if we hit the apex wrong, you'll skid into the tire wall, crash and explode into smithereens.
BILLIONS of people met there demise at that turn!

It's "Sunrise Corner", and I had a little adventure there on my first track day in the Lotus:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eyBQoYDUX_U&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eyBQoYDUX_U&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

The thumbs up was to the start/finish flagger who was pointing the black flag at me
