Whats your favourite corner?

[Fred la Poignee]

The first right corner going up in the Mont Aso map of the French seasonal

The 2nd and last S at Monza

 

[Yardang]

I like just about every corner in Laguna Seca, especially the Corkscrew. One mistake and you're screwed. Ok...I got that out of my system, but I do enjoy driving there.

The corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

[MichaelWMS]

Schumacher S/130R.

 

[OwensRacing]

Hence why i rarely visit this site anymore. The amount of double and triple threads is outrageous. And the news feed is ass anymore. Completely useless information. It should ONLY be info about the game itself.

I see your favorite turn leads off course.



Favorite. . . Chicanes.

 

[Ya21]

Karrousel on Nurburgring, and Corkscrew on Laguna Seca.

 

[Louielouie3]

Laguna Seca: The Corkscrew, The first corner (Andretti Hairpin)
Fuji Speedway: Turn 1
Tokyo: The last corner
Special Stage Route 5: 2nd Corner through the tunnel

 

[Aqua F1]

Most of the Le Mans track. I really like those chicanes at the end for some reason. Although I hate Fuji Speedway's corners with a passion.

 

[PureLogic]

- nordschleife carousel
- suzuka spoon curve
- laguna seca corkscrew
- all chicanes of monza

 

[Skiddy]

the Nurb straight

 

[Crazed_Coupe]

The last little turns on Trial Mountain Circuit for sure.

 

[Markeeez18]

Nurburgring GP circuit, Turn 9 - the fast left hander where Lewis Hamilton crashed in 2007 (I think)
When you get it right, its very satisfying

 

[bullet360]

Definetly sure its not a corner but all of suzuka east... Bsat drift track available (better than tsukuba )

 

[Wiegert]

Wippermann and Eschbach on The Nordschleife, the Porsche Curves on Circuit de La Sarthe and both the penultimate and final corners on Deep Forest Raceway.

 

[VBR]

Daytona Road turn 1, & the bus stop, both are epic when going in 3 or 4 abreast in a wriggly RWD stock car. The turn at the end of the straight on Le Mans, another great challenge, I love corners with high speed entry that require you to mix braking & turning, balancing the car right on the ragged edge.




Every single corner on Nurburgring 24h, there isn't even one I dislike, that track is absolute driving heaven for me.

 

[kmg43]

Nordschleife - Fuchsröhre (like a little slalom run)
Nordschleife - Karrussell, for obvious reasons
La Sarthe - Mulsanne right after the kink, keeps my braking precise and light...
La Sarthe - Indiannapolis for just-on-the-edge speed
Monza - Parabolica
Finally, on Top Gear TT - Follow-through and Bentley combination. I always wonder if I am going to just go off in Bentley.

 

[Seaca07]

La Sarthe - Porsche Curves
Daytona Road - Bus stop
Monza - Parabolica

 

[disinfected]

Cape Ring Spiral Bridge is epic.
130R on Suzuka always is very good to me.
Indianapolis at Le Sarthe.
The last corner of GVS.
The last corner of Deep Forest.
The last corner of Trial Mountain if you can hit the hill well enough
The small complex section of Tokyo R246 after the two long 90 degree turns.
The long hairpin at Madrid.

The last corner at Deep Forest makes for some sweaty palms.

 

[Amac500]

Hmmmmm..... I guess I kind of enjoy the Porsche Curves and turn 1 at Le Mans. I do agree that turns 3-5 at Grand Valley are cool, for sure. At the Daytona road course, I really enjoy the kink and the bus stop, even though they really need to fix the bus stop there because right now we are running the motorcycle bus stop, not the GT one they use in the Rolex 24. If they fixed the stupid turn 1 barrier so we have the run off from I real life, fixed the bus stop, made the cars use te access road exiting te pits (instead of ejecting you into the racing lane, actually at campers and te ferris wheel to the infield, an give us that time and weather change it would be my favorite track. All they need to do is just make it accurate. Then we can get rid of that undeserving of being in the endurance races 4-hour roadster race.

Anyways, I don't think they have any huge reason to add Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course to the game, but I wish it was, because I really like turns 3, 4, and 5. Off of a high speed straight it's a right-left-right with compressions. It's really cool, go on YouTube and search mid-Ohio indycar onboard and check out those curves from the cockpit.

I believe what you are reffering to at Le Mans referring to the Mulsanne Corner at the end off te Mulsanne straight. Actually I know it, unless you are thinking of Indianapolis.

I also do like the first turn at Toyko, because it is a typical street course corner and the high speed straight away with heavy braking is fun. Plus you can do some different stuff to make some passes, which is fun. I also like the quick right-left chicane just before the two 90 degree right handers, which are pretty fun to. The corner 90 degree left handed at Trail Mountain before the last 2 turns is fun to. It's another fun spot to set somebody up, screaming down hill under breaking. The last turns at Grand Valley and Deep Forrest are fun too. Thought of those few more when I thought about it more.

One of my favorite spots to pass is backing up my entry to that turns 2 and 3 on the Daytona infield road course. Then I get I can set up a smooth straight shot to cross to the right of the car infront of you when they sweep across to the left. Then I run up next to them and out brake them into the frost International Horseshoe. If you are really strong you can go to the left of them out of that turn 2-3 chicane and pull around the out side in the International Horseshoe. The Daytona road course may be the funniest track to drive, because of the two long top speed areas, hard breaking spots, short high speed bends, and provides you more chances then any other track to make that professional, bold move. I BADLY wish they would fix the track so it could be more fun. Actually I started a thing to give it time ad weather changes and fix the errors in the most wanted tracks area on the feedback part of the website. But until the fix it, I guess I will be running the time/weather change 2009 version of Le Mans, wishing I had more premium Le Mans cars at my disposal...... Sigh**

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

I have a few Favourite turns, I LOVE the Karousel at the ring, right before the straight, also, the 4th last turn at INDY road coarse ( resembles an S ) ... also that turn on daytona super speedway, ya know, the left one? i like that one

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

There isn't a corner I dislike on the Nordschliefe

My favorites being:
-Quiddelbacher Hohe
-Fuchsrohre - English: Foxhole (probably my absolute favorite. must take nervest of steel to run this one 100% in real life. fast downhill left followed by another left just over a crest under hard braking)
-Spiegelkurve (get it right, and it's nearly flat out, but still almost totally blind, good fun)
-Wehrseifer (difficult little right-left under hard braking, brake balance has to be good or you'll surely spin)
-Breidscheid Bridge (as with the previous, but a touch easier and good fun when you get it right)
-Hohe Acht (just so fluid)
-Pflanzgarten I (you brake just after a small bump and then just pile it in for the double-apex turn, this one always feels so close to the limit, just awesome)
-Pflanzgarten III (incredibly fast, just hold the hammer down if you have the grip and try to nail the succession of apexes)


I guess I love the Nurburgring because unlike many of the modern circuits (looking at you Tilke) there is no 'slow down, turn in, crawl through the turn, shoot off.' You are constantly using the weight transfer of the car to 'dance' around the Nurburgring. There is never a moment where you lose that beautiful fluidity of inertia. I wish Spa was on GT5 because it is much the same.

Turns 1, 2, 3, and 5 on Daytona road course

 

[mykem]

6th and 7th turns at Le Sarthe. The way they're banked and how easy it is to ride them on the edge, I just love them.

I think what you're referring to Indianapolis. It pays to remember the names on the track- Dunlop, Tertre Rouge, Mulsanne, Indianapolis, Arnage, Porsche and Ford. Of course once in awhile a new names are added- Playstation, for example- and removed.

From what I've heard most women (and a few men) are quite impressed by those who can recite these names. Of course, you get bonus point if you an remember all the names that make up Nurburgring Nordschleife.

[baluba]

Hammerhead on top gear test track. It's just very complex.

No it isnt, Suzuka is, the whole track is!
To me its Suzuka, the corner after the smooth startsection where u can
drive in very fast, but if u get it wrong u flyyyyyyyyyyyy

It just tests the understeer and oversteer of a car

 

[blauster654]

GT5 - Last corner of Deep Forest. Love just letting off the gas instead of breaking, grabbing some dirt and flooring it as early as possible to gain tonnes of time.

All GT's - Every corner of Seattle - I miss that track deeply and still cant believe it was left out of 5.

Ever - Masta Kink on old Spa (60's) from Grand Prix Legends. Truely epic trying to take this flat. Anyone who's played GPL will testify this.

 

[chaoticyinyang]

There's already a thread about this.

Probably, but nice to have revivals every once in a while in a forum!

I agree with you Blauster, I still don't see why Seattle was cut out from the track list, but who knows...maybe it'll show up as an update long down the road.

I enjoy the turn after the 3rd major straight away on de la Sarthe (where they have you drop it into 4th gear otherwise giant @$$ sand pit awaits you).

Still love the Ring in general, yes it's just one large turn but still a blast when you have the tuning right and you're blasting through it at full throttle!

 

[Menown]

The tunnel and bus stop chicane at monaco, I never know how that series is going to end up.

Speaking of tunnels, Eiger Short weather change, the tunnels exit with the right weather leaves you blind for the quick right/left before heading up the hill. Very fun.

Turn 2 High Speed Ring onto the bridge. Scrub off the speed and flick it onto the epic.

The final esse on trial mountain, always an opportunity to get it wrong and have a spectacular crash
