Just for comparison, what's the downhill grade from T2 to T3A at Pacific?
Jim B. Immediate impression is that The Ridge is a lot steeper. But impressions can be deceiving, so off to Google Earth for data. It shows that PR drops 70' from T-2 to T-3a, but it takes around 800' doing it. That works out to 9%, still plenty steep!
The Ridge hill is reminding folks of the top of the Cork Screw at Mazda Laguna Seca. Sharp turn, then down hill. Google shows that this hill drops 50' in the same 300', so the comparison is valid! Big difference is that Laguna continues to drop another 50' before leveling out.
I need some hints on getting the video posted. I have my GoPro Hero HD files trimmed down to the on track parts, but still around 1.5GB.
