Probably trying out GPL for the first time, Jesse.
When the beta (demo) was first released that was the only circuit available.

Sorry...that should have been "alpha".

The "beta" was dropped onto the web around July last year.

Last night at Kyalami I had my best-ever online start - from the second
row of the grid I got a flyer (analogue clutch pedal came in handy!) and
squeezed right between the two front-row cars into the lead!

Then had a great battle with the pole-sitter who was a full 5 seconds
faster than anyone else in qualifying, but it's pretty tough to overtake
at Kyalami!

I got the win but we had a hell of a dice at T1 when he got inside me
but drifted wide on exit.

Phew - I'm still shaking thinking about it!

The right, left, right at the start of a Watkins Glen race can be pretty
hairy too!

Watkins Glen is a real pain in my oppinion. Specially the loop and big bend
make me study hayballs up close.

So IMHO The Loop and Big Bend are some of the most hair-raising corners in GPL

For me?  Whatever turn is coming up NEXT.<g>
I'd probably say the chicane at Monaco - hated it...  I'm not too thrilled with
Zandvoort, either.
