Bit steep

[DrDrew]

Merc obviously like to get their cars quite vertical during high speed testing. Must be a bit nerving first time you try this one....

 

[Matt]

I imagine at the speeds they'd be doing on a banked corner like that it would probably feel safer than on flat/cambered road to be honest!

Looks kinda fun

It'd also be gradual. It's not like if you lift off you'd suddenly plummet to the bottom

I'm sure it does feel better from inside the car, but looking sideways and either seeing sky or the floor must be a bit odd. I've been on some pretty steep lateral slopes round corners on bikes, just thought that banked corner looked a bit special...

 

[Al]

Just no sudden steering movements

I'm guessing that banking track they always use on Top Gear; longest bank in Europe wherever it is.

I was thinking that, i thought it looked familiar
