Whilst there's no race for reverse Laguna Seca, I ran some laps the wrong way whilst in Run & Settings mode last night - no lap times and 'WRONG WAY' on the screen the whole time.

It's an interesting track going the other way - especially the corkscrew, which is incredibly steep!

I might have a bit of a run the wrong way at Cote d'Azur tonight.

Anyone else tried this!
 
Me and danpollard had a gt2 race around laguna backward in Audi TTLM's, it was great fun, havent tried it in gt3 yet.

That's a fun challenge! I'll mention it to a couple friends.

Yep! Laguna is pretty fun backwards, and I hope there will be a backwards race in GT games to come...
 
Yep, I've tried it too. That corkscrew is impossible steep. It is great fun because you can't see over the hill! :)

P.S. Oh, and I forgot to mention, if you hit the corkscrew wrong you ramp of it. :eek:
 
The Cote Azur track backwards is quite fun!

The hill after the hairpins is actually quite steep going up it. And no more sunstrike!

Laguna Seca Backwards would be cool but I think they aren't going to put an official backwards track in because it's not the realistic jump off the top and go crashing into the top of the wall on the other side.

I'd like to see a standard Suzuki ALto get up the corkscrew!!
 
I love to drive Mazda Speedway(I had to add that ya know;)) backwards, especially in FF cars. I set the diff at 5,5,5, and at the top of the corkscrewm I slam the gas and do a 1-wheel-peel down the hill:D. And then when I go around the turn at the bottom, I go full speed and slam the brakes and stop on the little pull-off road. I like messin' around like that. :D :p
 
Very challenging track backwards. Especially if you've come to rely on the gear selection light...it doesn't work right.
 
Just curious... does anyone know if they run races backward at Laguna? I wouldn't think so, the corkscrew would be nasty... but you never know. Anyone... do you know, Jordan?
 
sometimes in the F1 games i go backwards and have head-on collisions with the other cars .....it's entertaining to screw up their race and watch them go flying backwards .....and when the games have damage it is even funnier .......Monaco is narrow enough to cause a huge traffic jam at some turns .......and Spain has a nice long front straight to get some nice speed before impact ......it's funny to see all the cars trying to dodge you but you always get one or two of them ......i usually play the game normally though

Certainly not in GT3 - and having looked around the circuit I'd be extremely surprised if they did - there would be numerous safety issues.
 
Laguna Seca in GT2 was wild, especially outside the track!! You could come back in to the track doing wild jumps over the grandstands!! I haven't tried breaking through yet on GT3. Anyone else? I have broken thru on Seattle and R5 Special Stage.

Maybe you could press 'Select' to get out and push?

Lol, yea, that would be nice. I can just imagine six people all getting out of there car at once and push up a hill..
