Thank you. The corkscrew is my favorite corner I have encountered on any track. I do get quite a bit of wheel spin going over the crest due to the lightening of the car. I could probably get out of the gas a bit to reduce this and save tires but it's so darn fun! I quickly regain traction at the bottom under the heavy compression. I tend to shoot out of this corner better than any of my competitors and I have made the race winning pass going into the next set of corners in 5 out of my 6 races at Laguna Seca. They aren't studying my videos well enough... Maybe they will figure it out next year.
