Your favorite curve

[scoobyonline200]

From Massanet all the way through La Rascasse at Monaco.

Fuggedaboudit, I love the whole Cote d'Azur circuit!

I really like going through The Swimming Pool complex, you CAN do it flat out, but you MUST get the entry right your you'll just go straight into the wall...which I have done like a BILLION times. But I also forgot to mention that there's another good set of corners in Deep Forest.

The little set of corners just after the first tunnel, and then also the last "Straight" AFTER the 2nd tunnel, which includes the Last Corner which CAN be taken flat out!!!

 

[Holdenluva001]

i think the last corner on deep forest but coz u dont have to slow down that much to go though the corner

 

[Doggie]

Wow for me it maybe all of the great sweepers. Such as 130R at suzuka

Ugh how I hate that corner... But I hate all things I can't master.

I seriously want a bumber sticker: "130R wakes my up screaming every night" First couple of times when I drove suzuka I noticed that AI took the corner a lot faster then me, so started to test the lines. Found out a okey line to take it but it 130R still kills me quite often on really fast cars.

My new favorite corner is the lefthander before the streight to the corkscrew at Laguna Sega. On GT3 it was waayy too easy, on GT4 they've made it much better.

 

[Thundercat]

I hate being a xerox copy cat'n, band-wagon jumpin' . . . but I love the corkscrew of Leguna Seca. When I first started playing GT, 'bout three years ago, I hated the corkscrew--now I look forward to it. Another favorite is the "S" curves on either of the Infineon tracks. A brief kiss on the brakes, hard left-hander over the curbs, then a right-hander down hill full speed, followed by a left sweeper, tap the brakes and a right. Go too slowly and the AI is gonna nail ya from behind. Go too fast and you're eating lunch in the tirewall.

 

[vectradriver]

that s-bend is good for car-control and taking pictures of.

 

[Mayuri Ootsuka]

1 - Sprunghugel - Pflantzgarten/Nurburgring (Flattened alot since 1922, but still atention getting!)
2 - Reservoir Chicanes at Autumn Ring (Just before the ARMini paddock)
3 - Gravity Cavity at El Capitan. (Hope you enjoyed lunch!)

 

[futuredrifter]

My favourite set of curves would have to be the last highspeed, slight downhill section on Nurburg' before you make the turns to enter the long stretch.👍

they didnt start building the track till 1925

 

[Mayuri Ootsuka]

I had read the track was started in 1922 by the Weimar government. And was pretty much unchanged until 1966 when they put in a chicane just prior to the pits. But that is academical...
oh no that's your football team. (Attempt a joke)

bad one at that we nearly won the league if it was for st mirren(stangely enough im really good mates with one of the st mirren players girlfriend)
anyway the nurburgring was built from 1925-1927,it was to test tanks iirc

 

[Acen]

Pretty Much all the curves on Deep Forest Raceway. Also on Costa Di Amalfi except the SUPER tight hairpins near the end. Plus the part after the wide hairpin corner on Trial Mountain is great...

 

[samj_13]

New one: The entire Le Mans Circuit pre- and post-chicanes 👍

 

[Korndawg]

Hmmmmm.. The last chicane at Apricot Hill, the tight turn at Midfield, the straight (uphill and down hill with trees yes you know which one I'm taking about) and the corner after it at Deep Forest, all the high-speed sections at the Nurburgring etc etc.

 

[TheBigMan045]

Definetly the final high speed sections of the Nurburgring a perfect end to a perfect track. SO AWSOME with a high speed car and getting that bit right and having to hit the brakes just so you can get round the last corner heart in mouth stuff everytime:tup: 👍 👍

 

[ROB 256R]

Piscine @ Cote D'Azur
Spoon curve @ Suzuka
Not sure of the name but the crested corner just before T1 @ Infinion

I have to agree with this one. I love that last turn before the finish line after that huge high speed run.

 

[Der Meister]

My favourites are:

*Midfield Rev: Last complex section - it's much like Spa Franchorchamps 'Eau Rouge'
*Autumn Ring Mini Rev: 3rd last into 2nd last corner before the up hill into hairpin
*Autumn Ring Forw: Same piece of tarmac as above, except the oppisite direction and into the banked left hander that has a crest on the exit.
*Suzuka: Spoon Corner - the double apex corner before the back straight.
*Deep Forest: Final turn - high speed, mass G-Force, awesome grip.
*Trail Mtn: Second last corner - left handed 90* into a low point apex.
*Apricot Hill: The final chicane - whole section including fore and aft corners.
*Yosemite Rally: The long hairpin around the back that goes down in, and up out.

 

[ERA WUNER]

Turn 1, 2, and 3 at apricott hill........ In a single drift. =]

 

[Abysmal Pea]

That one really hilly turn on El Capitan, both directions.

 

[bruddahmanmatt]

The first pair of ascending curves at Sears Point are always fun to drive. I love how the AI cars take these curves like a bunch of pansies and present me with an opportunity to set up to past them. The Ring also has more than a few nice curves but that's pretty much a given. I also like a lot of the long sweepers on Tokyo R246 as well.

👍 You can carry an amazing amount of speed through the whole first quadrant of Sears Point. You can usually nail them at the exit to the big downhill sweeper left, too.

 

[Philly]

i'd say the prosche esses @ sarthe. Also the right left flick on tokyo

 

[ERA WUNER]

well its not a turn.... the last map under world tracks, forgot the name. but the LONG asz strateaway. especially on 2 palyer. some good memories.

The straight on the Nurburgring?

And welcome to GTP!

But please don't try to avoid the swear filter from now on.

EDIT: @ Duke, the second part about the sweeping left hander, isn't that called the Carousel? Not 100% sure how you spell it, but I heard that whilst watching an IRL race a few weeks ago (when Marco Andretti won his first race)

Anyway, that is a great turn if you don't take it too wide

 

[240^drift]

the chicans on sarthe 1

 

[Metar]

Well, every week I discover some new great curves. Here's a list of some...

El Capitan: The Corkscrew-esque turn (after/before the tunnel, depending on direction), in both directions, although reverse is more fun. Also, I like the first right-hand sweeper with the short left bump (on reverse). Amazingly fun in a stiff-chassis car.
The last turn on Trial Mountain, that left-right. Extremely fun at speeds...
The two (first) uphill corners on Infineon - I just love WRS Week 72 for those two turns.
The 'ring - that north section before the Karussel.
Special Stage Route 5 Reverse: The first few corners.
Fuji '80 and '90 - the whole course, mainly since it consists of only 3 corners.

There are probably many others which I can't recall at the moment...

 

[TuneRVisioN]

I like the dowhill high speed section on the nurbugring.

 

[FourwheelBrow]

Ooh, let me see. I guess it depends on the cars I'm driving ...

- The fast set of sweeping curves at Nuerbergring, before you reach Karousel.
- Also the turns at the end of the lap at the end of the main straight.

There's plenty more, but my mind's a blank at the moment. Nuerbergring is my favourite circuit though right now.

 

[samj_13]

I'm pretty sure those are called Tiergartens. Not a German student or anything, but I'll take a crack at it and say that means "Three Gardens" in English.

Those turns are very fun if you get your braking right, otherwise, well

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I love the last section of El Capitan. I think it was the second track I drove when I first got the game (after the Nurburgring, of course), and I took it on with the ASL Arta Gariya race car. I was still getting used to the game at the time, but after I'd crossed the bridge at the bottom of the circuit, everything started to go right for me. Nailing it was as awesome sensation.

Other favourites include:
- The back section of Citta di Aria where the track narrows after T1 and the car gets loose into the sharp section of corners that immediately follows. It's like firing a bullet into a keyhole.
- The sweeper at the end of the straight at Opera Paris, especially in a DTM or other race car. You need nerves of steel to take it at ten tenths; if you get an inch off-line you're going to hit the wall at ninety degrees.
- See also the right hander at the top of the hill after T2 on Tokyo R246. If you take the chicane immediately beforehand at full speed, you'll find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, but if you're quick enough you can set up for the corner. Carry enough speed and you'll come within a hair's breadth of the outside wall. I call this the "Nakatomi Corner" because if you get it wrong, you're going to Die Hard.
- The left-hander through T1 on Georges V Paris. It's one of the fastest corners on a very slow circuit and to complcate matters, it's blind. The corner is very wide as it's set up across a junction, which really screws with your depth perception at times. As if this isn't enough, it's one of the few decent places to have a go at the guy in front of you.
- I can't say I have many favourite corners on Chamonix (it's a real pain of the circuit, but I lik doing it for some reason), but one of the few good ones is the left-hander over the first bridge, right where the surface changes from tarmac to snow. Easy to mess up, but you can take it much quicker than you think is possible. I'm not a fan of it in the opposite direction, though.
