What do you think is the most difficult turn in the game?

Yeah that last tight section and chicanes at Barcelona is ridiculous.
Whoever designed that (especially for F1) needs to be shot.
I actually like that track, it has lots of character imo, but that first right hand turn end of start finish straight is brutal....completely blind, and the track just drops away off the earth and off camber.

Bit of a weird one but my nemesis is the very first corner on the Nordschleife, the left hander. Either brake too early or late & have to tip toe round it.
Really annoys the hell out of me & on the rare occasions I do get it right, I'll mess up the next corner due to my utter surprise.

Yes, turn 1 at Daytona infield is a strange one.
There are multiple lines in, with a lot of run off and then it sort of tightens abruptly.
The braking zone is tricky because you are turning slightly as you approach it, and it is easy to overshoot the braking zone and end up heading towards the wall on the outside.

Willow is a difficult course for sure. It's deceptive, many corners look like they're faster than they actually are, and it punishes you for the smallest of mistakes. Doesn't help that it's a road/desert course so there's no room to put a wheel off the course like on a circuit.
I struggled with it for a long time but some event in GT Sport used it (Hamilton, maybe?) and I finally learned how to drive it, but aside from the 'ring Willow is probably my least comfortable to this day.

It helps if you give it a second after your braking before you turn, it'll help catch the camber of the track which will drop you down the hill, otherwise you just continue going wide off into the gravel.
It's still not easy to nail consistently but yeah, once your down to speed, count an extra second and then turn, it's a bit of a leap of faith but you'll see what I mean when the car drops neatly down the hill.

I'm convinced anyone who doesn't pick this corner, simply hasn't driven the new course yet.
I haven't done it backwards, forwards was bad enough. You're basically just floating while trying to take a sharp right, and prepare for an incredibly steep downhill sharp left with a curb that shoots you to the right.
I thought it was going to be a quick and easy way to tune for Alsace, but boy was I wrong.

I think that's one of the most fun club circuits I've ever driven. 😀

This mf'ing turn drove me crazy in that boat of a bmw. It was and still is my biggest time sink in gt7, it just seemed to defy known physics to get that csl through corners without loosing too much momentum or spinning out.

Can't remember which license test it was, but that corner in the CSL was way easier than the one in the Supra at Maggiore East End reverse.

That is a car issue though. The question was which Corner is the most difficult. Not which car\corner combo gave you the hardest mission\license difficulty.
The way GT7 physics handles elevation changes, makes this uphill sharp right downhill, one of the trickiest corners in the game. It's the same reason the hairpin at Deep Forest has come up so many times. It's not the corner itself, it's the downward elevation change.
Difference is you can tune the deep forest hairpin away, just with a tighter LSD, in seconds.

I have no advice for a B car but can do it without braking in the Gr. 3 Peugeot in GT Sport.
Go full throttle through 1st right hander, then as you approach braking for the tighter second turn, don't brake but shift down, ease throttle, then power thru when your car has enough clearance to turn onto the straight.
I haven't tried it in GT7...

The cutting at Bathurst, it is worth SO MUCH TIME, like a second if you don't carry good mid corner speed because you don't brake until the dipper.

After thinking it over, this is my nemesis, as well. I either get it wrong or very wrong. I've gotten it right maybe twice in all the laps I've put in on that track. Took me a long time to get gold in Circuit Experience in that sector and the full track run, thanks to that corner, in GT Sport. I haven't tried it, yet, in GT7. But I'm sure it'll be a bear, as well.

I've also struggled with this one at first, but be it either the normal or the inverse circuit, I MISS the 1st apex on purpose to go deep into the corner, almost off track, as soon as I hit the middle of the corner, I go full throttle (Also depends on the car obviously) and try to hit the apex of the exit corner of that square.
Done this many times in GT Sport in Sport mode and I would always gain so much speed at the exit and overtake the other players even before the start/finish line, because they hit the first apex and lost too much momentum to carry speed into the exit.
For me, the hardest corners in this game to master (some I've haven't mastered at all) are:
-Last corner in Willow.
-T5 on Lago Maggiore, the one with the steep climb before the eSSes and the back straight.
-"Spoon" in Suzuka
-"The Cutting" in Panorama
-The very steep corner in Alsace because of the ridiculous elevation change and how tight the corner itself it.
-The entire section in Fuji that involves T13 to T16 (final corner) which includes "Netz" and "Panasonic" corners.
The Willow corner I've never mastered and probably never will... Hate the track in the first place, and it was that corner that made put up many hours trying to beat Hamilton's time in the GT Sport DLC. I would always be 1 tenth faster than Hamilton until that corner, I would always miss either the braking (which later I realized I didn't need to brake) or the timing to start turning and which line to take first... The track being bumpy as hell in that section also didn't help.
And I still never did that corner right but beat Hamilton's time thanks to having a much better advantage over him in the first sectors (almost 2 tenths), after that corner he started gaining on me and beat his time by a few miliseconds.
The cutting in Panorama is really a pain in the a** as well. You have pretty much no points at where you should start braking, it's almost on instinct that I do that corner. Another corner that put me hours into beating Hamilton's time as well. And I don't like Panorama either, full bumpy narrow tracks don't do it for me. Nurburgring being one exception.
