Yes - BMW - Patroon Chapter from NYC ... I call him "Le Stig blanc" - - LOL my instructor; a professional driver Bruno Lafosse originally from France - drives a monster M6 full race car - great guy and was happiest when we were going sideways around a corner 15kph faster than we had any business doing.
The forces associated with the speed, the elevation changes and the camber of the track are hard to put into words ... but hopefully this diagram helps with that.
