Corkscrew is still an infamous chicane in Indycar though. It's the spot where young Gonzalo Rodriguez lost his life testing for Penske (that was in...'99 I think), and its particular, steep layout makes it so dangerous for single seaters that overtaking there has been banned since the Zanardi Pass also in the 90s...). But I guess it's like the Nordschleife in a way. You have to be ballsy asf to go through Corkscrew at the maximum possible speed, which makes you shine if you're a real man. "Go big or go home"... ^^

I had the good fortune to watch several races in the late 60's at LS. My favorite spot was at then entrance to the cork screw at the top of the hill. Watching those thundering Can Am cars approach the left hander at entrance to the screw, going from full tilt to nearly 10 mph to make that turn still gives me a chill down the spine. The 911s of the time would all approach that turn with front wheels locking up. Every one of them, every time. Formula 1 really has to go there one day. It's great to see at least an (ex) F1 driver there.

John Montgomery Thanks for the heads up on the track configuration changes. As I watched this video I kept looking for the 180 degree hairpin and never saw it so I figured there had been changes made. I raced production MGs in the 1960s here on the East Coast and many of my favorite race courses have either been radically altered or are no longer even in existence...kind of sad to see courses like Bridgehampton on Long Island, NY go under as it was a really great racecourse. I saw Jim Hall & Hap Sharp race their revolutionary Chaparrals there in the late 1960s and I'll never forget Hall's first timed lap! It was a long time ago but if memory serves the previous lap record held by a NART Ferrari was something like 1:43:06 and Hall's first times lap was something like 1:36! Back in those days that was unheard of!

@@Nico_6967 I guess his is similar. Other ones aren't, look at for instance the Andretti steering wheel here: 4 small rotary switches, different button locations twitter.com/IndyCar/status/1293641390778454017 or Rahal's from a couple years ago. You can tell it is the same LCD module as Grosjean's but it just has one big rotary switch twitter.com/IndyCar/status/1035672518382632960 Scott Dixon has this very strange setup twitter.com/MPI_INNOVATIONS/status/1134290061414023169 You can see him turning the very small rotary switches at the bottom of the wheel in this video facebook.com/watch/?v=314371443252276

@@tomterrific6085 with Roger Penske at the helm and the Hulman-George family moved on, I don’t think anyone in the series wants a split to happen. If anything, the series has a bright future ahead talent-wise (the likes of O’Ward, Rossi, Rosenqvist, Herta and Newgarden are all impressive). But for a manufacturers standpoint, seems kinda bleak but who knows the sort of lucrative manufacturer deals Roger and co. have in store for 2023 and beyond.

Well, about this sim… 1) Too much sun glare 2) Head shaking is exagerated 3) Curbs are too permissive, feels unrealistic 4) Car is way too stuck on the ground; should slide more. Not realistic. 5) Graphics engine is dated. 6) Sound is inaccurate; lacks both bass and highs. Overall 6/10. Only mildly better than Project Cars 3.
