10 WORST Corners in Sim Racing

แชร์

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2021
  • Even the world’s greatest racing circuits have dud corners. Seriously. Just have a think for a few minutes about your favourite venues. There’s always one turn that grinds your gears.
    That’s what we are covering here. Not the worst tracks in the world, but the worst corners and often, an element can stick out like a sore thumb should the rest of the experience be so satisfying.
    This video features some of the all-time greatest venues, and Paul Ricard, so watch to see which corners irked our racers the most.
    But, woah woah, hold your horses. Before you set your keyboard on fire with rage, this is only the opinion of some of the Traxion team. You know you may have a difference of opinion. But that’s okay. Let us know in the comments below your least favourite curve in curve racing and it could make it into a follow-up video soon.

    At COTA, I actually find turns 8 and 9 to be quite satisfying to hit right, and it's not as though you need to worry too much about the fact that you have to go single file through there because two prime passing apexes are coming up quick. So in my mind, that spot in hell is definitely reserved for 13 and 14.

    I think the third sector of Paul Ricard is overhated, I think that it is actually very good, maybe it is hard to do but that’s what I like because it is challenging, also I don’t think it’s offcamber, I think it just feels that way because it goes down hill a little bit, and also Paul ricard is not totally flat

    One corner from a layout that made it on to the F1 2020 game, if not real life, the very tight, left hand hairpin at the end of the curving back straight of the Hanoi Street Circuit. The approach to this corner does at least allow some slipstreaming on the approach, but at the corner itself, you have to make sure you are well and truly ahead before the braking zone. Why? Because even when it's one at a time, there isn't enough steering lock to avoid running wide on corner exit. Very frustrating

      If you use some of the run off after turn 16 you can make 17 easier by making the corner more curved making it faster to do, sure maybe you’ll still hit the curb after the turn but lots of good corners that happens and it is totally fine to use the curbs, although I would still say it is a pretty mediocre turn though

    "Pain in the Haas...." While I, a NASCAR fan from America, typically cringe at how you pronounce "Haas" in the UK (Is that more to do with Will Buxton's Haas jokes? Probably.), this has to be my favorite Haas joke. And, I agree, the Village section is a pain in the Haas. Why couldn't they just keep the Bridge section? I mean, I assume safety was a part of it, but was that all?
    "...and that chicane deserves to be next." It's always a great day when racing series actually listen to the fans (not like when NASCAR renamed the Chase the Playoffs after fans had been calling for them to just get rid of the Chase).
    I actually enjoy Forrest's Elbow. It's among my top 4 corners around Mount Panorama, and among my top 10 in the world. It's actually satisfying to get right imo.

    I think you kinda have a weird taste in race tracks, man. You like COTA T1 for some reason, and you mention Brands Hatch without talking about how awful the last 2 corners in the forest section are. Seriously, it is impossible to see the line through Sheeze and going into Stirlings feels like a massive compromise. Honestly, for me, I don't get the appeal of Brands Hatch overall.
    Also, on the topic of Fuji, it's probably the worst circuit I've ever raced on. I've called it the Late Apex GP because that's what most of the corners are.

    Your inability to tackle Forest Elbow correctly doesn't make it the worst corner in sim racing.
    Hard doesnt mean bad. Hard means you're a bad driver if you cant get it right.
    You could literally pick any corner at an actual terrible track like Sebring or basically any US circuit or any new modern F1 circuit and they're all far, far worse.
