LEAST Favourite corner

I find the entire HSR to be very boring. I like the original version of the track, why can't they bring it back? (GT1 and GT2) Seems like the old course had more interesting scenery.
 
Agreed with the first Dayton Road Course turn, but disagree with the Carousell, I find it really easy, guess i've mastered it :D

I dont "hate" any corners in the game, but here are the ones I suck at.
The last few turns at fuji raceway. Seriously, I would understeer less if my tires were made of ice.
The last turn before the straight at the Nordshlliefe. I've spent more time scraping the barrier than riding on the tarnac on that corner.
The first corner at daytona road course also has a place reserved in hells race track. Every car you seem to drive ends up taking that corner either in reverse or through the gravel trap.
 
Last corner at Fuji. I can count on one hand the amount of times I think ive done it well.
 
A lot of people seem to be having problems with corners immediately after straights. Tune your brake bias, and brake in a straight line whenever possible.

My worst corner, the one corner that I have only ever hit properly ONCE, is turn two on the Nürburgring GP circuit. I just can't figure it out... it's like the maximum allowable entry speed means you'll be going way too slow for the rest of the turn. If you enter at a decent speed there isn't a racing line that will allow you to stay on the course. I know there has to be a fast way through that turn, but I haven't been able to find it lol
 
Great thread! I also don't "hate" any corners per se but there are many i've only really learned quite recently, even when they were in GT4 or earlier.

I can usually scramble around the last Fuji section but I know i'm not taking the ideal line for most of those bends, that said, I do often find I can make up some ground there so must be doing something right, especially that kinda long sweeping right before things start getting more complex, the AI cars don't seem to take it all that fast and brake very early for the tight right that follows.

I think Fuji is particularly tricky because so many of those corners are blind, uphill or on crests so you really have to predict when to turn in. Personally I found the older layout (layouts? I forget) of Fuji in GT4 a lot more fun, less of the kinda random run-off areas too, much less confusing.

Great to see the Jackie Stewart clip (wow he had a very high voice then), he gets the Carousel right of course, you really have to take it pretty slow, and stay tight on the inside, more cambered part. Don't nail the throttle until you are almost lined up straight for the next section. The key is not hitting the "lip" between the inside "bowl" part with the chevrons and the outer flatter part, at least not until you have pretty much left the corner behind and it's flattened out. If you do the car unsurprisingly totally loses grip and you'll be heading for the barrier.

Only corners which still catch me off guard (as opposed to ones that are difficult but I can't complain when I mess them up) are the right hander before the tunnel towards the end of the shorter version of Eiger Nordwand, which I enjoy, but it can be really tricky getting good speed into the tunnel, as it rises and turns sharp right, and a lot of cars oversteer and turn in on themselves, hitting the inside barrier (the Alpha 8C for example in that special event).

Aside from that, most of the course maker tracks in the seasonals have at least one nasty bend, but it's just a case of learning the track usually, and giving them a little respect.
 
Dunlop Curve...right before the Schumacher S at Nurburgring GP. Just can't find the right speed or line throughout the turn.
 
Not sure that I "hate" any of the hard corners, I like the challenge of trying to get them right.

Offhand, the only corner I'd say I actually hate is the chicane at Daytona Road Course, because it's WRONG. Hoping they'll fix it in a patch someday but I highly doubt it.
 
Course, its written course...ur from Canada ey...sorry...
The weirdest corner is really the one on the Daytona, i simply do not understand why the car reacts so weird...all the other corners are ok because u can learn them...but this one...

Exactly! I can't even count how many laps I did at the northern loop in different racing sims and this corner still sends me in the barrier pretty regulary. Maybe the main problem is, that it looks so easy?

But the combination of corners I dislike the most is the combination at the actual Fuji layout between start and finish....I think, it's the world's most boring, artifical and sterile race track ever.

Is this referring to me? I capitalized it as part of a track title, if I were simply referring to a generic "road course" I wouldn't have. Not sure but I think the game might simply call it "Daytona Road" which of course doesn't even make any sense. It's not a road in Daytona.

If "the one on the Daytona" refers to turn one on the road course version of Daytona(like it better that way?) then yeah it is an odd corner. You almost need to treat it like two corners, slow down a little bit to get headed in the right direction and then brake hard for where it tightens up. Turns off of the banking on most rovals tend to be odd and difficult to truly get right.
 
My least favorite corner is actually a series of corners, because they are all the same. All terrible.

The last section of Fuji!

It's almost like the designer went and said "let's deliberately make the end of this circuit as unnecessarily irritating as possible, just to screw with the drivers." All three corners are uphill, the road widens out to about a mile, there is an endless sea of asphalt runoff and each curve is virtually blind as a result. To this day, after driving this course in GT5, GT4 and many other racing games, I cannot for the life of me find the right line through it. I have decided that it just doesn't exist. So now, each time I get to this abomination at the end of my lap, I throw everything I know out the window.

It is immensely frustrating, in particular that last corner because I feel I never get a good exit onto the main straight. I honestly don't think it's possible.

Agreed. It's a long straight that needs a good last corner. Very frustrating.
 
The Last corner of fuji is usually a killer of my race.. i misjudge it and accelerate to soon, and go off the track, and worst case senario, loose grip on that, (what ever it is), and lose it completely..
