Schwedenkruez on the map, same as me and a lot of other people in this thread :P

I think the problem is you cant see the braking/turning line until the top of the hill, and by then the car is a bit airborne so the steering and brakes are really ineffective.

Brutal corner! That one has messed me up many times in the AMG Challenge.
 
The last corners on Nordschleife just after that long streight are hard when driving a street car that doesn't have ABS. With ABS it's quite nice on the more stable cars.

The last corners of Fuji are hard but i think they would be a lot easier if GT5 had 'look in to apex' camera option like in GTR2 or working head tracking.
 
The corner on the Nordscleife just before the straight is a nightmare. I always take it at too high speed, and if you mess up there you will not just loose time off track, but every single meter down the straight will cost you. And since it is so late in the track it is a really bad place to mess up.
 
Those of you having difficulty at the last section of Nurburgring try to do some left foot braking, it really settles the car down and allows you to maintain control. Once I mastered doing that it became one the the easiest parts of the track for me.

Not even a corner, but there's a slight bend in the Nordschleife (I think it's just past Flugplatz, around Schwedenkreuz) that I always take at too high speed --> I catch some grass and get off the track as a result.

I usually learn from my mistakes but something about that section tempts me to drive too fast and fail to see that bend coming. :dunce:

Exactly the same here.

Lol... yeah I thought about how all of those corners feel so unnatural and flow-breaking. I figure they're slightly better with a wheel and pedals, but with a stick they're all terrible and I can't take any of them smoothly. :dopey:

What you talking about fool!!! Fuji is an amazing track. maybe thats after i spent 3 hours mastering it for the GT5 prologue 750pp race i dunno :P but i just love that track

The corner i hate is a really nooby corner and i should probably be able to do it by now :P the sharp right hander onn special stage route 5 right before the final hairpin. luckily i dont have to drive there too often but i always go straight into the wall.

the everyday most hated corner would be the sweeping left hander going up the hill at Suzuka. just before the 2 shap corners (i think they are called the degna's ?) in road cars i always understeed off and in an x1 or fgt i always hit the wall :@
 
The part you go downwards at Eiger K route XD. You have to brake way more early then the ideal line says lol. Even when you brake, you nearly cant control it. I can control it now, but it is pretty hard.
 
I wouldn't say they are nightmares but basically any corner that I cannot stay consistent on and those, lately, tend to be large Sweepers like at the end of Monza or T3 at Fuji. It's not the throttle modulation that kills me it's the braking into it.

Turn 7 - Nurburgring, like a ton of others. I've spun because of hitting grass over a hundred times because of this kink.
 
The worst for me was the final corner of Tsukuba circuit in the wet. Frustratingly slow and twitchy. That was in gt4. Not sure if u can do Tsukuba in the wet in gt5 but that bend is nowhere near as hard in the dry
 
I dont have a particuraly bad corner but I can never do the Nurburgring without going off less than 15 times. It just seems like theres magnets in the grass which pulls my car in to the sides and the grass. Also when my car goes pn the grass, even if its a few centi-meters my car spins out.

^^^ This helps a lot. The first turn on Daytona road course receives my vote for one that I just cannot get right!
 
There's 2 of them at Cote d'Azur that I can nail only very infrequently, Loews hairpin and Nouvelle chicane. At the hairpin, unless I'm in a car that rotates very well in 1st gear, I usually get a push out and nail the outer wall.
At the chicane, it's all about when to brake coming down the short straight after the tunnel. Inevetibaly I'll do it too late and try to turn under full braking and slide right into the barrier, then promptly get passed for driving like a rookie. To me this is my holy grail track. I can drive faster clean laps consecutively around Nurb than I can around Cote. Hat's off to real F1 drivers who do this over and over again without wrecking.
 
Any corner where I'm driving an understeer friendly car :scared:

But also, and forgive me for not knowing the section names, but in the Ring, that gradual left hander early in the lap after that short straight. I always forget it's there and fly up the hill sideways into the barrier with about 4 other people and spin all the way to that tight 2nd gear right hander

Schwedenkreuz.
 
God damn that 2nd corner in every Mt. Aso track created!
To be more realistic, it has to be SSR5, the chicane before entering the highway back again. The problem is, is that you just want to keep speeding on that tunnel, UNTIL, it's too dark to see the armco of the chicane. I hate that corner.
 
I often drive to fast through Schwedenkreuz on nordshcleife:P
And i always brake too soon on the last corner on monza(Except in the X2010):P
