The course for CSEx 2010 has been revised. Gone is the fearsome Hairpin, and in its place is "The Switch" - a brutal right-left combination with a blind off camber apex. The remainder of the course is unchanged. The Switch leads into Flatland and speeds steadily drop off until Sugarbowl, when they pick up to the fastest part of the course at Dead Tree.
See the video below for onboard camera footage.
