>So F1s could average 300mph on an identical track if it were nothing like the existing track. Gotcha.

That's not how I read it. He said 90 degrees to the -outside-. Which would be significantly more difficult than the current track and seemingly impossible until you consider that the air downforce would need to overpower the centrifugal force lifting them away from the track.

But perhaps 90 degrees to the outside doesn't mean what I think it means.
