Now this come to mind after recently doing the 4 hour endurance at the nurburgring and constantly going off at the exact same corners, those corners were the turn 1 harpin and the last right handed before the karussell.

Im interested to see if anyone else has a certain corner or corners that even after driving it hundreds of times you still find it hard to master.
 
Schwedenkreuz of the Nurburgring remains the one corner in the whole game I have a sub 50% record of getting through successfully.
 
The double left hander before 130r on suzuka but I've started getting it now.
 
That long sweeping left turn on Spa, forgot what it's actual name is, but I'm sure the Spa buffs will tell me.:dopey:

I take it you mean Blanchimont before the 'Bus Stop' chicane at the end of the lap?

This was mine on GT4. I nail it every time now...

...But depending on the car, my chances of getting this corner right are slim to none on GT5.
 
for some strange reason, the turn onto mulsanne on la sarthe. Always tend to take too much and invalidate the lap

also, the first corner on saytona road course for obvious reasons.

Maybe he means Pouhon? Pretty tough corner in anything that doesn't have a tonne of grip.

The one corner I just can't get right? Probably the Bus Stop at Spa. I swear I lose like 0.5s to everyone else in that one corner :sly:

The double apex left hander in the middle or the left handed run to the bus stop at the end of the lap?
 
The hairpins at Eiger definitely have my number. Overall I think I've shortened my time in the Alfa 8C through those by about 1.2 seconds- for a best lap of 1:20.XX. Eh.
 
Schumacher S is the chicane I'm talking about, I always get it wrong, especially in the X2010 Event.
 
The one sharp left hand turn on Fuji Speedway right before the tight right hander leading to the finish line. I ALWAYS understeer off the track on that corner.

Totally forgot about this one, seem to get understeer even with rear wheel drive cars think it might be the camber causing it.
 
The Kink on Suzuka heading into the hairpin. I either put a tire on the grass under braking and fly into the gravel or slow down way too much and take forever to get around the hairpin.

Yep Pouhon.

The problem is that, I do have the grip for it, but I always turn early and end up cutting the corner a bit.

But when I do get it right, it feels like biting into freshly made chocolate chip cookie that grandma baked.
 
First corner at TGTT. I feel like I can´t get it right, even though I have no problems with it. I just can´t find the correct driving line on it.

Curiously enough, the first corner at Daytona road feels almost the same to me. Can´t seem to get the correct driving line on it.

And I agree with most that the last corner before the right hander that leads into the straight at Fuji is quite tricky, but I got it back in GT5P days. Still makes me doubt, though.

Fuji: 13, 14, 15 and 16
Suzuka: Hairpin and Degner
Daytona Road Course: 5 and 6
Laguna Seca: 3 and 6
Grand Valley: The long tunnel sweeper and the 3 left, right combos (Before the first tunnel, tunnels before the bridge, and after the last tunnel.)
 
Not that I regularly go off these corners but seem to lose a lot of time:

The left hander after the corkscrew on Laguna Seca

Turn 5? right hander between the tunnels on Deep Forest
