I finally got to follow a car down this stretch of road today. Unfortunately, because of how the person was driving, I actually did have to press the gas a couple of times (the speed coming out of a couple of corners wasn't enough to preserve momentum). What I was really surprised about was how often the person in front of me was hitting the brakes (and hard, I might add). Basically, they were gassing it just to brake before corners, but their overall pace wasn't any faster than my steady, unpowered decent.
