Is that the corner that leads to the back straight on Suzuka. I've never been able to get round that corner properly in any game, I either go way too slow or dip a wheel of the track and get stuck in the gravel :guilty:

If you guys are talking about the 130R I am in too...have exactly the same problem than you.

The last 2 turns in Fuji...I am in too.
 
It must be like the corner after the Kallenhard, gets me 50% of the time :)

EDIT:Aremburg, sorry, just drove the track again and checked on the map.

It's before the yokohoma bridge.

The GT Allstars series is my own personal hell largely because of the hard right-hander on Trial Mountain that comes up after you exit the first tunnel. It's no problem in a low-HP car but in a 900 bhp Le Mans prototype, it's more than tricky. There's a bump at the tunnel exit that unbalances the car best-case or gets it airborne worst-case, so as you approach the curve you're simultaneously trying to recover the car, brake for the turn and fend off other cars. 3 times out of 5 the result for me is that I wind up overrunning the turn and bouncing off the outside wall. And it's not like you have the option of starting your braking back in the tunnel ... the competition in GT Allstars races is tight enough that you need to go balls-to-the-wall 100 percent of the time. I've managed to lose that series twice now, once in a Minolta/Toyota and once in a ZR1 RM. Must ... practice ... more.
 
Eschbach. Nürburgring, just before the 17km mark, big left curve. There is no line but the inner line, anything else throws you off and into the barrier.

I crashed my car there in real life. Not too bad, but still. I crashed there in GT4 before I went to the ring. Now, I keep crashing there in GT5. In exactly the same way as I did down there. I hate it, I love it.
 
Every turn in Nurburgring :/

I can't STAND the soft shoulders on that track, though it is a lot of fun in general and has historic significance.

Other than that there's a chicane in Circuit de la Sarthe (or whatever the spelling is) after a long straight that requires lower gearing than it appears to, and it took me a while not to slide into the sand.
 
Others have been mentioned already, so I've got another one...

Eiger Nordwand Track Short Track braking zone into the last right turn (large hairpin before the straight downhill/starting grid). If you drop your left front tire off the track your back end comes off the track and you "plow" into the turn. First time it happened, I wondered about it, so I tried to watch for it on the 2nd lap, but it didn't happen. The 3rd lap, I intentionally dropped the left front tire into that spot and it happened again. BTW, I was using the volvo C30 R-Design ‘09 FF car. I'm planning on taking a FR car and trying it out. Has anyone else noticed this?
 
I would say the turn entering the stretch on the "bottom" of the map (if you set it to fixed instead of follow direction) in Deep Forest Raceway. Always hit the wall. Always.
 
I forgot to mention also the 3 or 4 corners after the long straight on the Nurburgring. 80% of the time I get on the brakes to slow down I send the car spinning/into the grass/out of control. Kind of sucks since you can run 6 minutes of a good lap only to ruin it in the last 30 seconds.
 
Sebastian Vettel Challenge - Suzuka - Spoon Curve.

The only corner that scares me is the high-speed left hander after Flügplatz, followed by heavy braking.

Play online, numerous times it turns into a 3-4 car battle for position on the straight, and imagine the narrow road with about 3 cars driving side by side at 200 MPH approaching those 3 or so corners. At that point, you just pray that you car some how manages to to spin out (which it will always do in that circumstance), and ends up facing the right direction.:)

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.

If you read the description of the AMG events it says specifically to brake right before the top of the hill to avoid hitting a wall. It also says that for the first hill on the track about 1:30 into the track. ( I think that one is Flugplutz)

I always screw up on one turn in the Nurburgring GP track. Maybe the 4th and 5th turn. After the hairpin, theres two pretty easy turns. After those turns theres two quick sharp turns and I always go into them way too fast and my lines are way off.

Oh and the very first turn in the Top Gear track. The combo of an up hill and left turn that is slightly slanted down to the right totally throws off the balance of your car. Especially an MR.
 
In my own track i have a track that you're climbing 50 metres(looking in the sun), harpin, 50 metres down(chicane). I love the track it's for street cars, race cars go slower trough that corner,
really weird.
 
Last part of fuji for me too.

Also, even after all these years I still hit the cliff wall on Deep Forest on the exit of the long left hand turn before the last tunnel 1 out of every 3.5 laps.

That little S-turn nearing the end of n'ring gp always gets me for some reason. The only thing that helps me occasionally is if I cut it through the grass.

Absolutely the same as for me! I find the faster cars (X1 in my case) is perfect because you can glide over the grass.
 
pfff I always go wide, or way to slow in "Bergwerk" (nurb)
driving without driving line all the time offcourse
