Most cars depart the carousel in the 90+ mph neighborhood. The kink is blind until you’re committed, you’ve been wot for a 10th of a mile or so since leaving the carousel with whatever extra speed that gives you, and the track falls away slightly.

In any car with grip matched roughly to power to weight, it’s easy flat, right up until it’s not. It’s always somehow right at the threshold for flat-out in most cars, so long as everything is going great. Out lap, LOFT, or it’s a bit slippy, or you have a handling issue, somebody lifts in front of you, you need to pass traffic, yada, hang on. I have been saving the car all the way out to where that Merc ended up more than once because of one of those factors or another. thankfully I have always been lucky enough to come out facing the right way with the throttle still pegged

Because of that almost-easy vibe, people run out of talent and real estate at the same time a lot there. You can count on at least one yard sale there every weekend.

You have to drive it to get it

As for the triggering incident...yeah not kink specific. You botch the exit of a fast corner like the carousel you’re gonna have neighbors in the next corner
