I tried literally each and every one of my garage !!
This track is my favourite... I especially love bum around and try to fly and land on a car which is in front of me...
I actually succeeded many times, even once "piggybacking" the C5R with my GT40 for a couple of seconds !!!

I am not a huge fan of this track but when I can get that upper section (atop the hill w/ all the 90deg turns) perfect, it feels great.

I don't really like this track , too many barriers and awkward corners like the one at the top of the hill (gets me most times ) though i do feel good when i occasionally get it perfect

tip for top of hill turn: brake as soon as you land the last of the jumps and you should be fine. Assuming your car isn't an f1.

A great track, especially if you can keep it flat through the two s-bends near the end of the lap. I find that too much power here is not an advantage and have often de-tuned some cars to achieve better lap times (ie C5R which IMO needs to be around 700bhp not 1000!). Get the Right-Right-Left-Left sequence of bends in the middle section right and you're flyin' for the back straight - opposition nowhere!

I like this track, backwards is a blast. I can come down that hill and hook the right hander at the bottom with no brakes. Heh, that hill section reminds me alot more of S.F. ever see bullet.

or Driver... except there aren't any retarded police car ploughing up your ar$e!!

I used to hate this place in GT2. But for some reason, I've just fallen in love with it in GT3. Maybe its the feel of the weight shift and delayed turning response in the right-right-left-left section coupled with the curbs to throw the car off balance and the walls to narrowly avoid. This track is all about timing. From timing the braking point after the 3-jump hill section or timing the turn-in point at the last chicane, at no other place is the timing more crucial.

I like the course, I just HATE the jumps it has... I Like how in GT1, on trial mountain, they added the jump in arcade mode and took it out in simulation. They should do the same, so if you want to do the jump go to arcade mode and if not do it in simulation. Other than that, I love the track. I always like the street courses...

I think it wasbetter in GT2 because the chicane bfore the front straight wasn't so bloody tight!

Also I agree with Bill-182 they should have put bigger jumps in arcde mode heheheh. Escudo = Aeroplane. (handles like a dog if you treat it wrong. Takes skill to drive )
