Corners you hate/always get wrong

[Jimlaad43]

I make this post after having enormous problems with two corners in particular on GT6. I seem to spend more time having crashed on these two particular corners than actually getting around them. Car and tune doesn't matter, I think too hard about it because I know I have problems there and just run wide.

What are those two corners you ask?
Well, the last left hander at Ascari

and Schwedenkreuz at the Nordschleife

The Ascari corner just doesn't flow with the corner before at all, and is so much slower than you'd expect, so I usually run wide. Schwedenkreuz is at the end of a fast section, and I always decide too late that I should slow down for it, therefore having a massive crash into the wall. I think the biggest I has was in my tuned 714PP Pescarolo Hybrid at 228mph!

So what corners on the game do you hate most, not because they're boring, but because you get it wrong a lot.

Schwedenkreuz is tricky, but I just slow down enough to downshift once, and so far that has been foolproof in almost every car.

On Deep Forest at the double left-hander before the straight through the tunnels, I often find myself hitting the second apex too early and then I have to brake at the exit so I don't hit the rock wall.

Every corner at Brands Hatch...

Edit: I forgot to add Big Willow, for the same reason as Brands. Both tracks have multiple blind, variable-radius corners that seem different every time you drive through them.

Every corner at Brands Hatch...

Ah yea, I should add Sheene curve to my list too. Both iterations, and in any game I have every played.

Paddock Hill (Turn 1 at Brands) is tough to nail every time, or even half the time lol. Such a great corner though

I struggle with the long left after the last bridge at Sierra, every time I either back off too much or understeer into the rocks

Paddock Hill is such a bisch!!! Doing that Senna challenge was really annoying!!

 

[IN5AN3 DR1FT]

Rome short I think, the corner with the stupid kerb on inside. 70% chance I flip or go on 2 wheels.

 

[Fire Yoshi]

The very last corner of the RedBull Ring. That stupid, green strip always gets me...

 

[Ryk]

For me almost every corner is a chance for me to ...
Brake too early
Brake too late (Screechy lock up)
Turn in too late
Turn in too soon
Get on the beans too soon
Get on the beans too late

The last corner of the SSR5 Clubman short track is one that I never really feel like I have got the most out of it. And that long straight that follows gives you loads of time to beat yourself up about a tardy exit.

Same here. That's why I turned to drifting. I'm a crap circuit driver. Drifting has that "🤬 it!" mentality that always makes you smile as you flame across a corner.

There are dozens of corners that get me. But there is one, in particular, that I'm almost ashamed to admit gives me trouble quite often. It's the second double-apex turn on Twin Ring Motegi (full track). After the finish line you have that right handed turn that's a double-apex. No problem. I don't know why, but I screw up the next one so often. Like I said, I'm embarrassed to admit how often I either go into the sand (too wide), or I just kill all my speed trying not to slide into the sand. It's not the type of corner you'd associate with the OP's question, but for me it remains a constant battle to drive smoothly.

 

[jlmcmillan1978]

Great topic. For me there's too many to name only one. Turn 1 and then several others too at Brands Hatch. Turn 1 at the Daytona road course. The final two turns at Fuji. And several spots at the Nurburgring. I like how the OP mentions how at these places you tend to overthink things or worry too much as you approach them, its so true. Motorsport virtual or for real is all about concentration.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

That turn is just awful. If you don't screw it up chances are the guy behind you will. Even if you get it right, it is so tight that you have to scramble back to your left to avoid hitting the pit wall.

 

[Fanapryde]

I can think of some corners at Sierra ...

 

[jontikis]

The first corner of Daytona - Road Course...

 

[Thematic]

This isn't even a corner but it's not exactly a straight either: the massively tilted section at Eiger which is followed by a slow right. I do remember gravity but I can't feel it obviously, so get it wrong often, hitting the right side barrier.

 

[NixxxoN]

+1 to Schwedenkreuz

And several ones at Zahara de la Sierra that are very very hard to master. I maintain that Zahara is harder to go on the limit compared to the ring.

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

The Chicanes on Circuit de la Sarthe. I always brake too soon or brake too fast then I fly off the track!

 

[Mt. Lynx]

T1 at Daytona road course gets me like 8 times out of 10.

 

[pyrates]

My two worst corners are definitely Brands Hatch Paddock Hill and Bathurst Hell Corner. I just can't seem to get them 100% right or at least not consistently enough.

 

[swsc73]

The long last right turn on Willow Springs. It´s allways like a lottery to me and the killer at the end of a maybe-good-lap.

 

[sirjim73]

Great thread @Jimlaad43

For me the most recent bend to qualify would be that first gear right hairpin half way around Sierra - it comes just after that longish sweeping left curve and I still break too late and too little.

I'd also agree about brands hatch but I find the last corner just as awkward as the first.

Other corner I've yet to master is that stupid 90 degree right and left just after the start at silverstone. Its ridiculously slow - I have to be honest and say that section ruins the whole flow of the circuit for me now.

 

[guywithanAE86]

The tight bend before the long straight on the Rome Circuit. It's so narrow so I always go in too fast expecting to be able to make it. Or maybe just tight street circuit corners in general, they're all tricky to me.

Then again, I'm not very good so whatever lol.

BRANDS HATCH .. its been my fave spectater track since i was a kid but my god theres a lot hard corners (most of them lol ) but i still love the track and love the challange

Bus stop chicane at Spa. You can lose so much time if you don't get that right. I've had so many good laps been destroyed in that last corner.

True, very true.
It is easier irl...

Lucky you, it must be a dream to drive there. How is Eau Rouge by the way? Did you drive on a track day sort of a thing or did you race? Actually you could start a thread about how it is compared to the game version.

Bergwerk... entry always feels to slow!

Eau Rouge is breathtaking and really steep. You need to go wide over the kerbs. Some cars get really twitchy.
I was there on a track day last week, using my friends Nissan GTR (650 bhp). 4 times refuel, discs gone, tires gone...

Sweet! It must be so exciting, I must have died a thousand times on that corner (virtually that is ) with the Lotus T97.
