I was there that day too. I had been to a few F1 races prior and knew what to expect sound wise. The other folks around me on Corkscrew hill viewing point were astonished at the sound and it’s volume. It was an amazing experience.
To another posters point about Corkscrew…I have driven more than 100 laps around Laguna Seca and the sensation of coming over Corkscrew and down the other side is unbelievable. You can’t see the track over the hood before you plunge down the hill and to the right. Truly a unique experience.
