What Nick said about course layouts. The Senna hits its top speed of 172 (!!) on the front straight here, which is...holy crap, that front straight isn't particularly straight, so that's a little pants-shitting right there.
But, yeah, the Senna actually gets up on the curbs more than I expected in other parts of the course, so I wonder whether it could have done the esses even faster if the driver had ventured farther onto the curbs. Maybe not, though, since its entry speed is north of 150 mph--unlike the Spec E46 that Nick posted, which basically accelerates the whole way up, the Senna bleeds off speed on the way up. Maybe getting on those curbs at 150 is a bad idea.
