You can get pretty close, but there is not a lot of room (the access road to the back straight pits runs right next to the track), and there are a few little grandstands on the other side of that road. Some of the sight lines are a little odd in spots just before the front stretch, but that's because the elevation which is a huge part of the track.
I'd compare it to Watkins, Lime Rock and similar old-school road courses. There are certain sides and parts where there is little to no spectator access however, but it's not a huge deal IMO.
It'll be awesome to see these cars on that track...and I would imagine the 'less-preferential' layout choice has to do with speeds down the back stretch and the climbing hill / crest at the end.
