yep. I backed up as far as they would let you and also tried to go around the track but it would only let me go to the apex of the corner.

They let the google car drive on the pace lap.
I believe their processing software automatically looks for what it thinks are license plates on vehicles and obscures them as the data is submitted (it's not done at run time). It would mean that they processed the data submitted just like any other city street.

It's neat that the camera is so high up - you can see terrain details which aren't at all
obvious from normal driver height.

Very cool indeed (the whole track is there for sure now). My first time ever through the corkscrew! You can drag the stick figure in the lower right corner to any part of the track to move the big image to that part of the track (just in case some did not already know that).
