The most difficult corner in F1 2010F1 2010-2016

[adman82]

I agree with the OP, I find the first chicane at Interlagos particularly challenging to get right.

I also quite often miss a good entry in to turn 3 at Istanbul.

 

[zeek1597]

All of them

 

[Peter]

The Esses at Malaysia. Not very easy to nail right at all. Get it right, you streak through in 5th gear ,get it a bit wrong, you understeer off and have to drop to 3rd to keep yourself from going into the grass.

 

[GT5kid824]

That stupid chicane in Barcelona, I hate that thing!

 

[WJHMH]

Most of Monaco, I'm either hitting a wall or cutting a corner.

 

[Jamie-C]

Brooklands at Silverstone is a hard one to nail. I always go too wide. Break and turn in early seems to be the best way.

 

[Genesis46]

I consistantly have trouble with turn 7 on suzuka,it leads onto one of my favorite corners aswell which is a pain :L

 

[Peter]

Every corner at Monaco And the last chichane at Barcelona. I'll either end up cutting across, or going through it very slowly, and spinning, or just going very slowly.

 

[BAR-ZoNdA]

the last corner on Silverstone, it seems to take forever to straighten up, and i always accelerate too early!

 

[Lee]

Easily the Singapore chicane, it's horrible.

 

[FLIGHT50]

Easily the Singapore chicane, it's horrible.

For me, its all of Singapore thus far. I am new to F1 2010 so I am still in my first season and haven't finished all races but by far, all of Singapore is giving me hell. Monaco I know like the back of my hand from GT but in F1 the race is totally different. After a year or so of playing this game it will all get easier, at least I hope.

 

[Peter]

I've never really had much of problem with Singapore, it's actually quite fun. Turn 2 before the straight is dark and hard to see, but other wise ,the rest of the track is fine with me

 

[Akmuq]

Turn 16 at Singapore is hard. It's the one with a curve just before a right-angled turn. You have to take a wide entry and most likely you will lock up.

 

[Peter]

Yeah that one's pretty hard sometimes. The final chichane at Suzuka is hard to get braking right for as well, I lock up and overshoot it a lot.

 

[Choate51]

Turns 1 & 2 interlagos. It will ruin most of your lap if you don't get it right.

 

[alonsof1fan91]

It may sound strange, but I somehow never ever get Turn 8 in Istanbul right... Im always loosing time there. Don`t know why.

I have no problems with tracks like Monaco (I love street circuits), I always struggle at fast corners or fast direction changes (EsEs in Suzuka).

My tip would be to take a narrower line through the corner than you might be doing already, the grippy racing line is quite tight through the corner. I'd suggest the same thing for the esses at Suzuka, don't worry too much about taking too wide an entry to the corners, you get better results from hugging the kerbs by turning into the corners earlier than you instinctively would.

 

[Rich S]

Brooklands at Silverstone is a hard one to nail. I always go too wide. Break and turn in early seems to be the best way.

Those Ss at Silverstone in the beginning is always a toughy for me. Also, the two slow chicane like sections on Abu Dhabi are quite difficult.

 

[JaymzVsTheWorld]

The first left hander at Catalunya, just as you are going uphill catches me out, I run wide quite a lot.

 

[F1 fan]

There aren't really any corners that repeatedly catch me out, it's mostly the kerbs on some slow corners that are obviously programmed to be destabilising.

The last chicane at barcelona is horrible. I can get it right, but it took a bit of practice. I used to always try to carry too much speed in, then realise the corner was tighter than i thought at the last minute. Why did they neuter the best part of the track? It wouldn't be so bad if the chicane wasn't so tight.

Initially, my problems were with me trying to replicate real life. Flat through turn 1 in suzuka just isn't really possible in the game. Once you accept what is possible and what isn't, things get a whole lot easier.

Also, the braking distances are longer in game than in real life. Don't think this was an error from codemasters though. Think they did this deliberately to make the game easier. The longer the braking distance, the more chance you have of overtaking someone. I don't have a problem with this, but would like a pro mode in f1 2011.

The game definately rewards those who play it a lot, which is a good thing. Not many games do that, save for giving you some shiny new trinkets. F1 2010 forces you to increase your knowledge of the tracks which in a way is like real f1. It can be quite rewarding.

Edit

The first left hander at Catalunya, just as you are going uphill catches me out, I run wide quite a lot.

Turn 2?

 

[arthurenzo]

Circuit de Catalunya , Chicane RACC is a pain because of the kerbs are high always upsets the car when you attack them wrong .

fully agree with you that Chicane is very hard. I spinned so many times in that corner.

 

[FLIGHT50]

I have two that always get me.
1. Singapore turn 3-always sneaks up on me no matter what.
2. Monaco turn 4-coming off turn 3 I accelerate to fast and always hit the wall. In GT, I love the track. GT is not as fast as F1 so I can prepare for turn 4 alot easier without loosing much ground.

 

[Liquid]

Definitely agree with the comments about Catalunya's final chicane; Casino Square at Monaco always gets me. I can't find the right line, and either run wide into the first corner, or hit the wall on the second. Very frustrating

 

[Shaggy Alonso]

Another one that's very difficult to consistently get right is turn 11 at Sepang:

Firstly it's hard to consistently find the braking point, then there is only one fast line through it which you must take, but it's very hard to judge how much speed you can carry through the apex without running horribly wide.

 

[Liquid]

Oh on Sepang I find 13/14 difficult, and especially 6. Not 5 though, it's just my poor driving; I can't get a sweet connection into 6. Very frustrating. I find Sepang a nice easy track overall. Flows well.

Sounds like you're not coming off the throttle early enough between 5 and 6 possibly - it's a trade off between entry and exit speed. 13 and 14 can be very difficult, my tip would be to treat it as one corner and aim for the apex of 14, which is helped by a bollard being in place there, and don't take a really wide entry or else you'll just stay wide.

 

[Yohdawg]

For whatever reason my most inconsistent corner for me is Suzuka turn 13 (Spoon Curve). I will either nail it or blow it by going too slow; it doesn't matter how many times I've dissected the turn (tried approaching it as 2 turns).

It so happens to be a corner where you just have to get it right for that long straight...

I think it's one of those corners where understeer is preprogrammed rather than occuring naturally within the physics model.

Can be quite annoying, but very satisfying when you get it just right. Suzuka is one of my goto tracks for a good race. Along with spa, monaco, melbourne and monza, I regularly do races of varying length and circumstance there and neglect most other tracks unless I'm doing a season. As a result of which, I'm extremely accurate at those tracks, but somewhat scruffier around some of the other tracks.

 

[Akmuq]

I have Suzuka drilled into my brain. 1:29,8-9 is my record I think.

Agreed. That corner hangs me out quite often, either that or I break too early and have to 3-point turn it.

Even after all these laps (F1:CE & 2010) I still struggle to perfect T14 as well. Seems for the line I take through 13 that breaking a little before the blue sign on the inside works fairly well.
