On the other hand, this is one of the few tracks where I feel really
comfortable using the in-car camera instead of the roof camera. I can't
explain it, but I can negotiate the corners better in-car.

As for just getting two tires down there, it'll bog you down big time.
The car will want to slow down while you're cranking the wheel hard
right to just get out of it. Fun fun fun!
I can understand the reasoning for having sand, though, for driver
safety. But it's still a big pain in the ass. :)
