Watch a 23-Year-Old F1 Car Smash a New Indy Car’s Lap Time at Laguna Seca
And that was just an exhibition lap performed by a non-F1 driver.

Thanks, Chode ol' buddy!

Back in the 60s my high school chums and I would attend a lot of races at Launa Seca. One of the best turn sequences in all of current racing tracks is the "corkscrew" at Laguna Seca. My pals and I would hang out on the limbs of a huge oak tree (long since removed) and observe the differences among the talented and wannabe drivers.

As challenging as was the corkscrew sequence, the most difficult turn was turn 1, and it would have compared with the fabled Eau Rouge. (Do you dare take it flat?)

New Indy Cars are expensive crap.
