Most of the wrecks at sears are in 10. Then 9. 8. Much less so

Isn't T2 (100mph uphill approach to a blind apex that goes off-camber) where all the OTEs and fender banging happens? It's fortunately a slower turn with enough runout to keep folks out of the wall. Fun as hell corner to watch, especially during starts.

Infineon was my first track. I haven't been on it in 2 years and about a dozen track days. Can't wait to find time and get back on it (when I can find the time).

I've seen a lot of cars make contact in T2.

Sure, but the apex of T2 isn't -that- fast. But it is a bit off camber coming off so it's easy to spin there. But the walls are pretty far back.

I've seen crashes in every corner on every race track.

It's the only place I've spun on that track. I think I just got too much of the curb, and the car got loose.

Like Krazik says, T2 isn't that fast but it's tricky b/c it's off camber AND you're cresting a hill so the G-load on the car is changing. First you push b/c the front end gets light and then right when it's hooking up the rear is still a bit unloaded - I've seen seen many spins there driving and spectating (the Ferrari challenge race a couple years ago was very entertaining).

T2 is the 1 corner of Infineon where AWD is a big advantage b/c you can go WOT as soon as the front end hooks up without fear of the rear stepping out uncontrollably.
