Whats your favorite backwards course?

[Event]

Did a search, nothing looked like this, so what is your favorite backwards course of the ones that you can face the AI on, not Rally Courses?

EDIT-My favorite is Deep Forset, followed by SSR 5 and Seattle.

Trial Mountain

Tokyo 2 is my favourite track in the whole wide world of computer games.

 

[Famine]

Special Stage Route 11. Better than anything else ever.

 

[Smallhorses]

Gotta be GVS for me, forwards, backwards, whichever way. That course is hands-down the best circuit in the game.

 

[heero 12]

Laguna Seca Reverse is not on the list, so I will not be voting, God I love jumps .

 

[Skyline Drifter]

Drifting at Midfield ..... 👍

Ugh! I hate SSR11, it's so long! Too many hairpins...

I hate R11 as well, though I have to say it's slightly more tolerable in the Reverse direction.

It would be a much better track if they turned the lights on and cleaned all the oil off the paving.

 

[98cobra]

Grand Valley for me because it's very challenging.

Pah! You're all girls...

It's got some of the best corner-strings in the game - the very first "fast" left into a right-left chicane is marvellous, as is the right into right-left chicane just before T2... If you can nail the braking zone you can just cream right through the second corner without a second thought. Marvellous.

Can I say "Pah!" again?

Pah!

All it is through those haipin series is gas, brake, honk, gas, brake, honk, honk, honk, punch, gas, gas, gas.

Deep Forest Raceway.Very fast circuit.My favorit.

I have to agree with you here.
That's not my favorite backwards course, but those corners you talk about are some of the most challeging in GT3.
It is indeed very rewarding to get them just right.

 

[AP1]

Trial Mountain.

 

[VIPFREAK]

Rome Circuit, don't know why it's just good scenery and a nice course, can't wait to see the new ones though.

 

[ceiling_fan]

Deep Forest

 

[DoZeRxXx]

tokyo and SSR11 (depending on how patient i am feeling(i am usually very patient))

Pah, yourself. I agree, the course layout is fabulous. It's just too bad that T5s there feel like T2s anywhere else. And perhaps it's my eyesight (which is poor), but I literally cannot see any of the turn-in points on R11. It wins my all-time award for "no freaking WAY did I hit that wall!" curses since a number of the apexes don't visually appear in the same position that the car model seems to find them.

In the daylight, on truly dry pavement, I would probably love the track.

I agree! 👍 When going backwards on medfield the corners are much more condusive to drifting then going forwards. This probably has the most to do with the eleavation changes of hte course.

You just named all the reasons why a clean lap of the place is a feeling better than any other track

You're probably right about the dimness (is that a word? It is now... ) though. On the data projectors at school it's damn near invisible.

You hate SSR11, you are a freaking n00b who can't drive. Infact. SSR11 is my favorite track, always has always will. GT1's verison of the track still is better than GT3's version.

Hey, go easy man. Everyone has a course that they just don't like. Or at least not until they get a chance to really understand the game.

I'm definitely not a freaking n00b who can't drive. I freely admit I'm not the fastest, but I've got a good understanding of racecar handling and driving technique. And, fresh off my run in the 22B, I'm here to say I HATE Special Stage R11.

Every car I own understeers like a barge there - until I slow down below the invisible threshold, when the front wheels suddenly snap to and hurl the front end into the inside barrier. No matter how absurdly late I try to apex, it's still too early. And as always in traffic on the city tracks, the AI hits the wall but I pay for it.

Last night I ran R5 (now that's a track!) from the PD Cup. I was about 6 seconds away from lapping the 350Z, and everybody else was a lap down. At Apricot Hill I had an MOV of almost 50 seconds over the 350Z, with the oil light on... and tonight I lose by 20+ seconds at R11, despite his 3 pit stops to my 1.

A good, high-quality lap around Laguna or Monaco is challenging. R11 is just annoying.

 

[Solid Lifters]

I like SR11 just fine, but it's not my favorite reverse course. That would be Cote D'Azur. OK, so it's not an official reverse course...

I've tried Cote D' Azur backwards too.

Grand Valley. Always liked it. Say, does anyone know if Grand Valley East will be making a return in GT4?

Darin, yep, since that chicane disappeared from the middle of the course the track has lost some of it's challenge, I think that was the single hardest corner I ever came across while driving a TVR Griffith

We can only hope.........that it returns with that jump from the GT1 arcade mode, right before that turn that led into the second hairpin, that was annoying.

 

[Victor Vance]

I liked that jump, thanks for reminding me

It was only not fun in the faster cars, say, anything faster than a Corvette ZR1.

 

[Cosmic]

Tokyo R246 is much better reverse.
I vote for Tokyo R246.
