Top 10 | Worst Corners in Sim Racing

worst corners.jpg
When you race online, you know there are certain corners of particular tracks where there’s without doubt going to be instances.

Whilst some of the corners I have chosen aren’t typically known as challenging corners, these are far too often the location of incidents in sim racing. Perhaps this is down to a lack of awareness/view of a driver’s surroundings, or that a corner is wide enough to try and make a move stick.

In sim racing, it's not uncommon for sim racers to think they have the skill to pull off a move like Verstappen did to Hamilton during the last race of 2021 - or replicating Hakkinen's move on Schumacher at Spa in 2000.

you dont even need corners, for this to happen. most people just drive recklessly. i have a video which clearly demonstrates the difference between a proper driver and a "sim-racer". non-profit video channel. see the rfactor video. its nothing cool, but its good for this demonstration.
 
Mosport is one of the greatest tracks in the world and we are blessed with Johnr777's superb version for AC, but my goodness I really don't like Clayton Corner.

If you get it wrong, you get it massively wrong.... (and when I say 'you', I most definitely mean 'I')

It's like it has an agenda against you, it has mood swings where it will randomly lash out at you for no reason at all, except spite. It knows its just a corner, it knows its not going to be able to have a fine steak or taste beer, or go on holiday or feel the touch of a beautiful woman - and it takes it all out on YOU.

For me this corner always results in stifled swearing, squealing tyres, unsafe rejoins, the inevitable sound of metal against metal and plenty of time to mull over your feelings of regret when you're suddenly back in the pits. My thoughts normally start with "But I took that corner in exactly the same way as the last lap and I gained 3 seconds, this time I gained 3rd degree burns in the resulting inferno and bits of wall shoved half way up my backside"

There is a reason why there's a black, charred stain on that wall. Its malevolent - and it wants you to know it.

Something with grip and balance! Personally, I'd jump into a car from the RSS GT pack, maybe the Lanzo? (Or maybe not, its really not that stable, but a lotta fun!)
