Witchcraft which hooks up west And east tracks at Miller a little pucker but a lot of fun when you get the set up right to go up the hill and Down the Attitudes happens fast.

Add Road Atlanta turn 1 thru the S's fast technical and allows a slower car the fun of getting all over the viper/Vette he just pointed bye at start finish.

Track section between Turn 7 and Turn 9 at Willow Springs, CA. Turn 8 is a sweeper, flat out, 120 + in my 993….with slicks I am thinking 130, oh lawdy! Then take this speed and modulate it down for a 90mph decreasing radius turn on on to the front straight.

In the same boat as I've only driven TWS, HHR, MSRH, and COTA. TWS CCW T1-T2 and T5-T6 complexes can both be taken at speeds that appear insane at first and allow us mere mortals with crap buckets to harass GT3s if the GT3 driver isn't on the top of his game

I do have to admit, I enjoy the 1967 Watkins Glenn T4 in Grand Prix Legends...

Bishop's at Sebring for the pucker (especially passing on the outside) and both of the banked turns at Daytona just because the compression is like nowhere else. T12 at Rd Atlanta in the dry.

There are no west coast tracks with interesting corners on your list, or you don't get out this way much?

Madnesss at Mid Ohio is just special. Either hit it right or the whole series is compromised.

I also kinda like the off camber left going into the quick right at Grattan too.

Unfortunately don't get out that way as much as I would like. I should have put Sears Point t2-t5 on the list.

No love for the Carousel? How about turns 8 (the Esses) through 10?

The whole track is a series of great corners!
