It would seem to me that the higher banking keeps the 'g-forces' moreA visit to the Texas Motor Speedway web-site gave the turn radius as 750
vertical (for the drivers) which should be easier for them to handle than
the high 'gs' on flatter tracks which tend to severely stress the
neck/spine. Running INDY at 220 mph around a 9 degree bank has to be more
stressful on the body than 235 mph on a 24 degree bank. Again, as Hugh
states, we need the radius of the turns to do meaningful calculations.
