March 4th is sold out (Solo and Point-By). Does everyone prefer the Bypass to the Cyclone?

So tell me more about Thunderhill configs. There's the 3 mile (East), the 2 mile (East), the newer West course, and the 5 mile (East and West combined, aka the Thunderschliefe). The bypass versions of the East course go around turn 5? Which is the Cyclone? (Sometimes compared to the Corkscrew at Laguna)? Did I get that right?

The "cyclone" is turn 5, which is a steep right hander that goes into a sharp blind left, very slow corner. It's scary the first few times but once you figure out where to "aim" it's fairly tame. I find it's the exit/entry into turn 6 that gets me if I don't pay attention. I wouldn't say it compares to the corkscrew. The "by pass" is an off camber left that goes around (bypasses) the cyclone. I find it trickier than the cyclone. I've never heard of the 2 mi East config West is the new section and I've never done it by itself. Ive done the 5 mi track once. It is huge and i find it hard to learn. There are so many turns I feel like I'm only reacting to the turns and not planning my lines. It takes so long for me to get around that by the time the 20 min session is over I've only done 3 or maybe 4 laps (that's 1 warm up, 2 hot laps and 1 cool down). I may try it once again this year for kicks. You should definitely hit YouTube and just watch a few vids of each of the configs to get a feel for the tracks. |
