That is actually the esses after the fish hook on the South course. That line of cones off to the right was the continuation of the North Course and the really sweet uphill esses. Right where the video stopped is also a pretty hairy turn. They call it South Bend and it is basically a high speed sweeper that falls away from you dramatically after you hit the apex. It's 110mph+ on a motorcycle depending on your balls and when it falls away your gaurunteed to slide. It was a pucker factor of 8-9 for me..only eclipsed by the perfect pucker factor of 10 when I missed my downshift and ran off the track in the Oak Tree corner.
I learned the secret to the Oak Tree on my second trip to VIR. Notice it is a double apex. Take the fist apex and drift wide like you would normally. The trick is the second apex is much tighter. Once you've made the first apex (3rd gear) head straigt for the wall until you can't stand it anymore. Then catch a quick downshift (I mean really quick) and turn like a son of a b****.
The true "race line" through Oak tree is pretty cool.... You stay to the outside of the first right hander coming into oak tree. Stay out there, and late apex Oak Tree itself. Helped me get 2-3 carlength jumps on cars with 300hp in my little 110hp RX-7... all about Momentum...
