In GPL there are some corners that I mess up very frequently, especially
when I am doing a very fast lap...
1) Nouvelle chicane (Monaco)
2) Turn 8 (Mosport, the righthander after the hill)
3) Masta kink (Spa)
4) Flugplatz (Nrburgring)
5) The lefthander before Nouveau Monde hairpin at Rouen
6) Abbey (Silverstone)

2) The bridge in the right sweeper right before the second karusell at the Ring
3) Before Nouveau Monde, Rouen
4) Lesmo 1
5) Parabolica
6) Curva Grande
Monza is a pain, tries to hard every time :)

1) Mosport, right hander after the hill,
2) Spa, Blanchimont, the very first part
3) Rouen, the lefthander before Nouveau Monde hairpin

6) Corner just after Flugplatz
5) Parabolica
4) Abbey
3) Most of Mosport, especially the r-h after the crest...
2) La Carriere
1) ***y Malmedy. Ugh, ugh, UGH.
Yep, two corners from my favourite track as 1 and 2. Maybe that's why I
like Spa so much - there's a great feeling of satisfaction when I get round
a really fast lap without ending up in the hedge...

1) lefthander after long straight at the Ring
I can take this one right 1 out of 3 times.. often I hit the
fence/bushes on the right side, very bad for the car..
2) lefthander at Mosport
(you know the one I'm talking about)
3) hairpin at Monaco
(loose lots of time there)
4) Parabolica at Monza.
Yesterday I drove a new pb of 1:27.75 at Monza, yet GPLDump
shows me that I lose more than half a second at the entrance of the
Parabolica. No matter what I try, I allways lose major time here..
5. hairpin at Rouen
(so difficult to judge speed there)
6. Last corner at Rouen
(also lose lots of time there, when I try to take it just a
little bit faster I allways lose the car there)

More troublesome corners:
- the last left at Silverstone and the right before it
- T1 at the Ring (in races with >10 drivers)

My choices would be:
1) Stavelot, Spa
2) Big Bend, Watkins Glen
3) Turn 1, Mexico City
4) Hondenvlak, Zandvoort (The quick left-right about halfway round)
5) Turn 2, Mosport
6) Hairpin, Rouen

1) Mexico (any turn) - although T1 guardrail has my firestones tattooed
all over it.
2) Mosport right turn after the crest of the hill
3) 'Ring - those blasted hedges halfway around the track
4) 'Ring - right turn downhill before the overhead bridge (Aremburg?)
5) Glen - The loop
6) Rouen - left + hairpin combo (IMHO GPL's toughest section to be fast
and in control)
Honorable mention: Mosport T2
Cheers,
Ray
