i hate city courses... i gotta start drifting them to improve myself but all the turns on city courses suck cause I hate walls...
It all boils down to prefrence I suppose...I
started drifting in those city courses becuase I like driving in them (I mean all of them, Clubman and Speical Stage R 5, R11 and T246, Seattle, Rome, etc...) since some of them from GT1 and 2. I did it to learn how to manuver and
avoid walls that can be indeed something to hate. It wasn't instant that I learned, becuase it took me a very, very
long time before I could start to clear corners as good as Fujiwara Takumi from Initial D, and I have the replays to prove it (but lack the video capure card or ANY means to show any of you... ><...).
Also, there's no real thing as a hardest turn, it all boils down to prefrence and also a sense of getting used to ANYTHING. I will admit, most of the turns in GT have some difficulty, you just need to get used to them. This may be hard to believe by some, but becuase I know ALL of GT courese by HEART, every turn mentally, I can tackle a lot of turns, the difficulty from there on in of learning all the courese is adjuting to how your car behaves when you take on a course. Once you get used to how a car runs on a given course and once you're used to the 'rythim' of a course, a given course woun't be so difficult, hell, you might even like it.
Lately when I was trying to get back into driving Trail Mountain, I felt WAY off for a while, but it was a while before I found myself on that cousre again and again, and again with any car it seams, you just need to get used to it with a given car. Otherwise no turn is difficult, I suppose when you drive thru coureses as long as me or anyone here, it's only a while untill you get used to it.
Another example was deep forest...when I was getting used to the SVT Cobra R (bone stock save for sims...), I drove it around the course a few times at high speed doing my best to avoid wheel spin untill I got used to whiping it around the cousre, I startedd drifting thru it more or lesss like I was a wantabe Keisuke (and actually suceeding save for one turn where I did bump...><...)...none of the turns, even as they are aren't so difficult....
....the difficulty is just keeping some sense of rythim when tacking the turns...and anything...I mean ANYTHING can disrupt your rythim...one bump...you try to carry on...you bump again...again...and before you know it...when you try to drift thru a hairpin you managed to clear the right was 800 times before becomes somehow impossible and your car's rear is going backwards into a wall.
If any difficulty, it's just adjusting to the track and a given car more than anything...at least that's how I see it.
So for me there's no difficult course, I just need to go several laps before I get used to a given course with a specefic car.
If noting else, confidence does count a LOT, if you don't feel you can even stay good on a strait away...you have no chance in all hell to actually doing well a lot of the time or so my experience has taugh me...(when you feel llike **** and you try to drive, you'll either eveuntally get angry over whatever and do 2 things, drive like hell and be great or smash your car over every wall and over ever gravel trap worse than a tank...I've only recalled 4 casese when I was PISSED like hell I drove and drifted better than I would have had before...)... with very rare expections at BEST.
-sigh-, and that's all I can figure what to say for now, until later.
