When naming our brand, Turn 3 (A and B) at Pacific raceways were my fav turns, hence the name.

Fast forward and more tracks have been built. Despite living in BC, Canada, I consider The Ridge Motorsport Park in WA my home track, and I have some fave corners there.

A couple pictued here while testing a 997 GT3 Cup and a 997.2 GT3 CUP "S".







And another in our Radical SR3

I have enjoyed every track I've experienced, didn't have a favorite until The Ridge.
Not sure what my favorite corner is, but The Ridge is my favorite track.

Disclaimer: I've only been on tracks around the Pacific Northwest

The Ridge is amazing....

Eagles Canyon Raceway near Decatur, TX has a corner that goes into the canyon. It is a downhill off camber curve, that drops way down several stories. When I hit the line just right it was a blast, if I was a bit off line the camber really got bad, and I was going sideways looking at the curve through the driver's side window, staying on the throttle to drift through the apex. That was exciting, and I tried real hard to not repeat that.

It is a private track where rich folks can keep their car, and go run all day if the they want. They will rent it out to a private group to use for the day.

uphill hairpin on Gilbert Trail in El Paso Texas.

it took GRIT and bravery. feet locked in, granny gear, and eyes forward looking towards where you want to go, not where you hope to not go. in my lifetime, I am 50-50. greatest mountain bike turn of my life. tight!!

2nd..that turn at Thunderhill where you have to lift to rotate the rear to make the corner...not sure which one that is...mmmm..could be Infineon. been a minute.

strange how I remember a bicycle turn more vividly.

I like T9 at Willow. T8 scared me and I could not flat it but I think my car could. I would ease the gas but not lift, of course, in 8. Once I came out of the throttle just a little too much and started a tank slapper. After 2 corrections I knew I was a dead duck so I just let go of the wheel and I'm guessing the gas. It's not all clear to me but the car straightened out and once I realized I wasn't eating dirt, I proceeded into 9 doing about the correct speed to enjoy that corner.

There was a Pelican/R Gruppe guy in front of me, Dan Byers, and later in the pits he said he saw me in his mirror. He said he had never seen the side o someone's car that didn't go off. He asked how I did that. I said I gave up almost immediately and things sorted on their own. No credit due whatsoever.

I always liked the T9 corner as it was flat out in a kart. My kart would barely touch 100 coming into 8 but at the slightest input on the wheel it lost speed. Lost just enough to keep the foot buried and do 9 at 90. Funny, the 911 was happy at 90 too, but I could not have maintained my approx 120 coming into 8. Or was chicken. I never looked at my speed while figuring out where the hell I was in 8, it is a very wide part of the track. Most drove right down the middle, straightened out looking at a structure of some sort off track some distance away as a mark. Once the car was straight and stable if was time for a little braking if you got through 8 at speed.

I never made a mistake in 9 so maybe that's why I liked it. I made mistakes in 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 and went off in the first 4 at one time or another. Thankfully I did not actually spin or go off in 8. 8 and 9 are where people get hurt. You don't want to overcook 9 because you could either hit the wall at pit entrance or spin to the inside of the track which was soft and flipped many cars.

There's a dip in 9 right at the apex so if you aren't already starting to unwind the wheel, you became a victim of the car unloading just after the apex. A late apex was the safe way to negotiate the turn. Doesn't make sense saying it that way but that's the line.

Like the exit of T9 when you use it all and track out a bit into pit in.
I walked the track last month and the ruts in T8 go across the track, some 3 inches deep and 3 inches wide and go across the width of the track.
It will be all redone in 27'. For now some of the fragile FF cars can't use Big Willow for concern of suspension damage.
My big car soaks it up but not going to improve on my 1.21 till the track is redone.

I never liked T9 at WSIR. In my early days there I went off attempting to push too hard and it was a wild ride in the dirt. 92 MPH was the ideal apex speed in my 2.5L Boxster on NT-01 tires and I *could* do it, I just never liked it.

The Turn 5,6,7 complex at Riverside was a hoot. You could be pretty aggressive because you weren't going that fast but you had to brake, shift down 4 to 1 twice and manage the throttle at all three apexes. The whole sequence prolly took 30 seconds. The rest of the lap was flat in a Formula Ford, although Turn 9 and Turn 2 were a real challenge if you weren't on one race rubber.
