Damn, I'm getting nostalgic about LS already
Here are some fast facts on the corkscrew.
- At the apex to Turn 8 (the lefthander and entry to The Corkscrew), the elevation change is a 12 percent drop.
- By the time a car reaches the apex of Turn 8A (the righthander), the elevation is at its steepest - an 18 percent drop.
- The Corkscrew drops 59 feet between the entrance of Turn 8 to the exit of Turn 8A. That's the equivalent of a five-and-a-half story drop in only 450 feet of track length.
- From Turn 8 to Turn 9, the elevation falls 109 feet, or just over 10 stories.
