Suzuka: Steering Paradise!

In my eyes, the most historical circuits are Nurburgring, Laguna Seca and Suzuka. Grand Turismo team added all three circuits. The upcoming posts will be dedicated to these tracks, showing each turn by turn, telling small secrets to improve your times.

I will start with the most demanding one, Suzuka. Suzuka is one of the oldest and most historical tracks on Earth. This unique circuit is 5.807 km long and consists of 17 turns.

The pit straight is the fastest point of the lap. Full throttle acceleration here. Brake as late as possible. Turn 1 is now past and you drive towards 2. Take Turn 1 as fastest as possible and try to fix your line for Turn 2. Next come the three Esses. It is a flow. You have to use both brakes and throttle gently.

A mistake can be fatal and make you lose some important seconds and maybe some positions. Turn 6 is a much tighter corner, so be aware of this point. If you are more conservative keep the car locked, keeping it tight. You can also use a wider racing line, but you may face problem in Turn 7. Turn 7 is a really never-ending turn, while in Turn 8 you have to brake a little or ride softly the curbs. Don't try to go straight because it's more than sure that you will have difficulties in Turn 9, the difficult, right turn. In Turn 9 brake and take throttle at the apex. There is always a bit of oversteer here, don't worry.

In the next post I will write about the remaining Turns of Suzuka. Good luck.You can send your stories at ascoencorp@gmail.com.
