Think SS11 tries too hard to be The Hardest Track?

Title.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very fun course to drive on, but sometimes it feels as if PD tried to squeeze in the tightest turns everywhere possible. What do you say?

And no, it doesn't try too hard. The thing that made SSR11 infamous back in the day was the underpass Chicane, It was the way it was because if there was leeway, it could be cut easily. (And possibly technical limitations too)

It was a section that separated the men from the boys. But the rest of the track isn't that hard per se, it's just a little bit more narrow then other tracks which means each steering input has to be more deliberate to get that fast time. To be honest, it's one of my favourite tracks in the GT franchise.

Anybody can get around Apricot Hill or Midfield, but it takes a real driver to be able to conquer SSR11. Racing isin't meant to be easy.

SSR11 became good when PD took out that 🤬 chicane! Always crash there
