This questionnaire should go to those who drive these tracks. Apart from having ridden shotgun a lap of Spa on a Wednesday before the race in the early 1990s in a road car (I was still too young to drive myself then), my only other "experiences" come from onboard cameras. And onboard cameras don't transport g-forces into your living room, otherwise you'd need good setups for your sofa on each race weekend

so personally, I could never say what corners are over- and underrated.

If you have'nt driven them in real life think about games

Well, that won't be a lot of use because in most games neither the way the cars handle nor the corners themselves are accurate enough to make a real assessment.

I can imagine though that my answers would be something like this if I were a well travelled racing driver:

1. Spoon Curve, Suzuka
2. Mercedes Arena, Nurburgring
3. the old Tamburello, Imola
4. McLaren/Clearways/Clark Curve, Brands Hatch indy circuit
5. 130R
6. Club (on whatever circuit it is used on)
7. dunno, probably leave it without a name

Chose the right setting and let the landscape define the track. i.e. don't design it yourself look around and see the track that has already been designed by God.
