The G forces are absolutely incredible in the banked corners. And I was only going about 160 as opposed to the 215 that Indy car drivers routinely hit on high banked mile and a half ovals. I have new found respect for these folks for the physical toll that a race must take. And the mental toll must be incredible - I was 100% focused and dialed in and can't imagine what it must be like to do 100 laps at high speeds going wheel to wheel with other drivers.
Needless to say I was drained after, likely from the adrenaline that surged through my body but also probably from the death grip that I had on the wheel. But it was truly a fabulous experience....scratch that one off the bucket list!
