OMG, what a horrible track. I think i've attempted 15Laps and set a time twice! lol Those blind corners over crest near the end get me every time. I'm going to need alot of practise!

Learn to love the Pork Team Prodigy - Just like Team Oldie only younger, faster, less grey hair and kinder to the environment!

Just stick with it, its a brilliant track when its working, a tip for that last corner its definitely a place for slow in, fast out and keep some throttle on to avoid losing the back end.

There are some far worse tracks for blind corners!
Road Atlanta is a nightmare!

Spanner - can't believe you don't like this track! Only managed one clean lap so far (2m17s), but it's a really fantastic challenge I think. Odd but in some ways it kind of reminds me of a stretch out Cadwell.
God knows how far off the pace I'm going to be though - I thought 2m17 felt pretty good until I saw the 2m10s/11s mentioned on here! More practice I guess!
Cheers, Ross.

2:17 seems good to me, Ross. I suspect not. btw, I just realised that we were in the Spec race a few minutes ago! Only just realised it was you! Looking at the replay, it seems the game decided I clipped two other cars when passing although during the race, I really couldn't tell at all.

What about Brands?!!! Maybe I just know Brands better, but there aren't many fully blind corners - most have distinct identifiable turn in markers. The opening section of Road Atlanta is just guesswork every lap. Barber's downhill chicane-hairpin is the same - despite numerous suggestions I've never found any clear identifiable piece of track furniture or background scenery to make the line into it more than gut feel.

I can't say I've had too much difficulty with the hills, humps and bumps.
Once you have learned the track and know where you are going you will be good.
I finally used up my gift of the Ferrari 360 driving experience at Knockhill. I must admit the very blind chicane in real life was just a bit more intimidating that I can remember from GTL.
You really can't see anything and have to rely purely on the cone placed on the apex to aim for.
