GPL: favorite turns

what are yours? BEST Ascari (Monza) - under the bridge and up to the full-out left-hander. sweet. WORST the hairpin at Rouen - if this seperates the men from the boys, then i'm in short pants.

Favorite: Zandvoort - Actually it's a series of about four turns from Gerlachbocht through Jan de Wyker. Achim Trenz put Zandvoort into perspective. It's not how you take any one turn, but how you "compromise" through all of the turns to make the best lap. Slow turns, fast turns, elevation changes...a good lap at Zandvoort is like sweet music. Least Favorite: Watkins Glen - That last damn turn. You know..."the annoying 90." Not that it's a poorly designed corner. It's simply hard to do well consistently and at the same time makes or breaks your lap. Jim

How about the uphill section after turn 1 in Monaco. That's a very easy section, but it is fun to watch on TV and make passes

I would say Zandvort... put a wheel wrong and you are out of the race. -- ************************************** * Jure Zagoricnik * ************************************** * TEN ID: SMOKKINU3 * * KALI ID: SMOKKINU3_#752 * * NROS TEAM: BLACKHOLE MOTORSPORTS * * DRAG TEAM: BLACKHOLE MOTORSPORTS * * SHRA MEMBER #752 * * ICQ UIN: 5779894 * * http://www.bhmotorsports.com * ************************************** * Power is nothing without control. * **************************************

> WORST > the hairpin at Rouen - if this seperates the men from the boys, then i'm > in short pants. Actually, while I'm no ace at Rouen (not a lot of laps there), I find that hairpin to be probably the easiest in the game. It's all a case of slowing down enough in advance to get into it and get the hole shot out. If you go into it too hot, you're screwed...and what's up with the invisible wall all around that corner? I find the Mexico hairpin much more difficult to get through cleanly and consistently. -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA

I like fast uphill sections, where you can see the track stretching before you - like at Kyalami, coming out of the last turn and blasting up and over the hill, through The Kink. I'd probably love Eau Rouge as well, but I always have my eyes shut through there :o) Andy

Yup, I vote for that scary one at Nrburgring (I bet you're talking about that left hander at the end of the long long straight under that bridge) for sheer fright! Spa's got a few good corners as well... ---Asgeir--- > >what are yours? > I like the scary one at the Nurburgring.... > Remco

best: that fast one two thirds of the way round Rouen (I forget its name) worst: the first corner at the ring, its just too easy to outbrake yourself there! :o) Robin. -- Remove nospam from e-mail address to reply http://www.oppositelock.freeserve.co.uk >what are yours? >BEST >Ascari (Monza) - under the bridge and up to the full-out left-hander. >sweet. >WORST >the hairpin at Rouen - if this seperates the men from the boys, then i'm >in short pants.

Best: Mosport after the hairpin, that whole uphill section where you are building up to top gear all the way up to that ever tightening right hander. Honorable mention Spa Malmady love the left-right-up-down, feels great when you get it just right. Worst: Monaco: that damned chicane after the tunnel... this section has caused more crashes for me than any other place in GPL. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva

Best - It's gotta be Antoniusbuche at the 'Ring. Also Masta, Eau Rouge and Rouen's Gresil turn get partial honours. But in a Lotus, every corner is, er, interesting... Worst - Rouen's Virage hairpin, Nurburgring's Turn 1, and that one after the little hill at Mosport... is it turn 9R ? -- Graeme Nash You know what to do with "don't_spam_me"... http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk/ ICQ# 11257824 "My car appeared to disagree with my preference for living"

Jay Wolfe wrote Oh my... all of them ;-) . More seriously... Masta Kink is extraordinaire. I also love Ex-M?lhe at the 'Ring, well the corner before also. There's a great camera set there just on the bridge. Tiergarten (the fast left after autoniusbutche) is great also. Grsil at Rouen. Burnenville at Spa. *** at Monaco with the little hill on the left side of the road exiting it. It's a great sensation when you lift the RF there over it. My last choice would be the first and last turn at Mexico. They are great. I really love to trail-brake for T1... WORST first turn at the 'Ring also is very hard. It's hard mentally also, since you really say in your head "Oh ok, there's 175corners left.. hmm yeah <g> " . ;-) . Finally, after at least 50laps Im unable to find the good line for "Chicane" at Monaco. It's about the only turn in GPL when I know before the corner if I will crash or not hehe. - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

I have many. Best: Tiergarten (Nrburgring). The fast left-hander after the long straight. Masta & Eau Rouge (Spa). Worst: Gazomtres (Monaco). The last hairpin. Braking is so hard! Chicane (Monaco). I have screwed up many races here. Keeke

Masta without a doubt. IMO, that corner requires biggest set of brass ones to get through properly. The hairpin at Mexico. -- Bill Mette | "A person is smart. People are dumb." MCSNet, Chicago | - K MiB

Malmedy and the first turn at Mexico that decreasing radius is a mother for me to do correctly but when I do it feels so good. The chicane after the tunnel at Monoco. Until I watched the replay I simply could not get thru the corner. After the replay I started hitting the curb and its better now. PAPA DOC
