Wasn't there a CART track that the drivers refused to race on because the G's were so high?

I added the Parabolica, my next choice would be 130R for highest G-load... God I love watching Schumacher on a qualifying lap in Japan.

Sorry, Parabolica curve = 3.2g's 3rd gear too slow for big g's.
Eau Rouge is fast but rises.. = 4.2g

Indy is closer, corner #5, 4th gear 4.6g.
