corkscrew laguna seca

Jeremy Clarkson on a Top Gear played and played this until he had learned the track so he could do it blindfold and was getting a good time. Once he had mastered that he went to Laguna Seca and using the same car as in the game tried to emulate it on the real track. As hard as he tried the corkscrew got the best of him. In the game he could go through, foot flat to the floor, but as hard as he tried, he lifted off each time in the real world. Here is the funny part. He lifted, not because the car could not make it, or his driving skill was not up to scratch, he lifted because at the exit he could not see the road ahead. The car was so low, it looked like a shier drop. He knew it was not, but something made him lift each time. After a day trying , he gave up.

The question is: "Guess the corner" and it's pretty easy with all those signs Wink

Something all good racing drivers can ignore untill they absolutly have to.
A common misconception is racing drivers dont have that self preservation instinct, but they do.
I dont think its the Karosell but i'll say it anyway. i haven't used the game your using so the tracks look a little differant scenery and design wise to what I've driven.

It's not the Karussel. That's an awesome bend though Wink

If you like you can get the game from here. You can run it as a trial before buying it if you like. The process is comparable to that of the Flight1 wrappers. This is a very nice racing sim Craig! And at €35 I don't think it is very expensive not to mention all the free add-ons you can get for it!

That's hardly fair. There's like a 140+ curves on that track and not all of the named ones are distinctive. There's not much about that particular curve to cue in on as the track looks so different from game to game. I think the only way to tell would be to play that particular game and keep an eye out for that particular corner.
