The most challenging corners I've experienced are turn 1 at Thunderhill (counterclockwise) and turn 10 at Sears. I'd also say turn 9 at Thunderhill when running clockwise. By challenging I mean corners that are tough to get right and take at maximum speed. |

Turn 4 at Willow Springs kicked my ass until a friend pointed out that it wasn't a very important corner at all in a TT. In between 2 slowish corners. After I stopped worrying about it (that corner) I actually went a little slower there but gained speed coming into 3 and leaving 5 so I got 1/2 a second off of my lap times by throwing away turn 4.
It's still a good place to pass or get passed in a race, but for TT it's not a big deal. |
