vibrantabyssFrom a day and a half ago, but I lacked 'net:
And I don't mean the scenery. Two hours of driving on a road so twisty that, to look three seconds ahead of where I am, I am looking out the driver side window, the passenger side window, and back every 15 to 20 seconds. Sometimes I need to be staring through solid rock. Often I am pitched more than 10% one way or the other, and that much roll as well. Which works out to as many as 3 gees - I don't have those formula in my head atm. I guess I don't feel too bad about my state after two hours of that, but likely I'd wash out of fighter pilot school...
Note: I was traveling less than 2/3rd of the rated speed for the road. Even in a performance car, I'm not sure I would drive the limit as line of sigh would be well under 2 seconds in many places, under one in some.
For those that like math: 60 km/hr, 180 degree turns, 10 meter radius
