Hi all,

I love nailing the last few turns at The Nurburgring after the long back straight. Something about trying to loose speed while getting the perfect line is very rewarding when you do it right.

After playing GT5 i decided to hook up my PS2 and have a blast on GT4.

My favourite track has always been Seattle and the best part for me is after the hill climb section and you turn right and head under the bridge....that series of corners after the bridge (Right, Right, Left, Left) are just brilliant when you hook it all up and take them perfectly.

So what series of corners do you love tackling in the GT series?

i also loved Grindelwald!
 
I love the slalom on Suzuka and the whole of Autumn ring mini
 
GT2, Red Rock Valley, after the first long sweeping left-hander there was a short straight, then a left-right chicane followed by a medium-speed sweeping right-hander. I came through that section so fast that I could hold the stick to the right all the way through the right-chicane and into the right-sweeper... that chicane and right-hander were hands down my favorite turns ever. Yes Seattle is awesome and a *glaring* omission from GT5 -- the section following the "staircase" and preceding the back straight described in the OP, that is a great series of turns, as well as the double-chicane twisty section immediately following the RR tracks after the back straight.

EDIT: I say double-chicane, just learned that's called a "bus stop" LOL... Where's the Samba Bus?! :)

Liked the Gravity Cavity at El Capitan in GT4 - After the Tunnel - the cresting right hander into the long looping left sweeper

The Bus stop fast chicanes at Seattle (I think betwen the Qwest Field Stadium and the old Kingdome - has railway tracks too)

The Bus stop at Autumn Ring is nice to get right - shame the track is so very wide.

Pflanzgarten at Nurby is a buttock clencher -

DFR (Deep forest) the long looping left that spts you onto the top straight is good fun now - the proximity of the cliff on the outside makes this long corner extra critical and it leads onto a long straight with an uphill start...
 
I also love deep forest raceway, especially the mid section, and the high speed crested corner in Seattle was awesome along with the chicane right before the straight.
 
The double tunnel section up to the third tunnel of DFR.

The opening chicane of Cape Ring.

Pretty much any off camber chicane.

+1 to everything he said. \/

I love the opening corners at Trial Mountain, from the start up to the hairpin inside the tunnel. They're so fast, and I enjoy driving them so much when my car is out of shape.

After that is Cape Ring and the Nurburgring; so many good turns on those tracks it's easier to list the bad ones.
 
I do love almost every section on the Nurburgring from the beginning to the end, those corners absolutely put me in a challenge with my courage to get them past as quick as possible, very thrilling to see what befalls to the driver immediately - if you could get them past fast you can greatly improve your lap time, but if not you fail to make a turn and are shoved off the track in the blink of the eye.
 
Depends on what type of car I'm driving...
For prototypes it's probably the Porsche Curves.
For RR cars, gonna go with the left, right, left on Toscana after the big long right hander.
FF, the Mulsanne Straight. :lol:
Little roadsters (i.e. Miata), all of the Nurburgring.
 
The Indianapolis and Arnage area of Le Sarthe, because the 1st turn one is real high speed, 2nd turn one gets you in to the next corner's speed, then you slow down again on the 3rd. I guess it's just like a break from straights for me.
 
The right-left-right sequence of turns at Wipperman on the Nurburgring, in a front engined, rear driver car with plenty of horsepower.
 
There is something about the turns going up the hill toward the loop at Cape Ring. They just flow well and the altitude change makes things especially interesting. Coming back down they can be great fun, too, especially when your car gets really light over one of the crests...makes you panic for a second.
 
The first few corners at Indy Road Course, the changes of direction make them really fun in a tail happy car.
