I cannot do "Breidscheild" corner for my life, whatever the car I always mess up on it :lol:
Same goes to those Fuji upward esses to an extent, and Daytona Road's Turn 1.
 
on nurby aremberg gets me online but not on single for some reason the first corner gets me on tgtt mainly just because on the sudden weightlessness of the car just throws me off, the chicane type corner at the end of suzuka i always hit too fast, i also cant seem to find a nice smooth line around the loop on cape ring north.
 
I think the carousel at nordshlief(sp?), cant hit a decent speed for anything. Run the entire Ring fine, hit that thing and have to slow down or I will spin, hit the wall, or end up in the grass
 
Breidscheid I believe. (think gt5 has the blue signs there)
I always end up with all wheels up the concrete curb, into the wall or go way to slow. Its really difficult to see turn in point.

Schwedenkreuz. I don't think I've ever got that corner 100% right.
 
All the hairpins at Tsukuba: When doing the supercar seasonal event I learnt how to nail all of these, I never found them difficult it's just I was only simply matching the AI, I needed to find a faster way. Hugging the apex is pretty important here.

I've found in some cars (like slow FF cars) its better to run in wide then turn in sharp mid corner to the apex once you can get the car pointed to the straight without getting of the accelerator again.

Kind of like this instead of keeping the inside round the whole bend

That's why you see alot of cars facing the wrong way as a result of BTCC-behaviour/Cleland-moments :sly:

Don't worry I'm not Matt Neal, I use my mirrors before driving like an idiot!

Lol its unreal how much the crowd at silverstone were booing him last month, his reputation follows him everywhere.
 
For me Adenauer Forst (always go too slow there) at the Nurburgring and Arnage at Le Mans, for some reason can't figure out how to take that corner the quickest way possible. The Dunlop, Netz and Panasonic curves (the last couple of hairpins) at Fuji Speedway always kill me, hehe.

This is how I used to take the turn. Infact I lost more time on the turn in than I gained getting the power on earlier. License test B-5 represents the best line through these:



By far the quickest way around is to hug the apex here, in my opinion. In that respect it's kind of like the hairpins at Eiger, you infact get just as good an exit by hugging the corner as you do with a wide entry. Each to his own I guess 👍

By the way, it was a Mclaren F1 I was using for the seasonal here. A wide entry meant more steering lock which meant I had to hold off the power for longer. Hugging the apex allowed for much smoother steering and throttle application, so the car remained stable. Same in the Elise expert seasonal here.
 
Way too many to even think about it :sick:
