My Favorite Corner

This is where my previous post’s pictures were taken. I drive this corner every time I go out for a fun drive. 15k ph /9mph speed limit, but obviously it is a lot more fun when you drive it over that.

I wish you people could come drive my favorite roads.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a speed limit that low.

Does look like a nice curve though.

It’s way better in real life. like a 90 degree turn

I believe it. It looks like a mirrored version of my favorite turn on a forest service road I always go back to. I’ve put in countless hours going over the section again and again, to get comfortable with initiating oversteer and keeping control.

There’s a road near me with a 10 mph limit (16.1km)

Kinja'd!!!

I’m really quite unclear as to why it is so low, there’s the one slighly tight turn but otherwise it’s a road that should have a limit of 30 or 35. I don’t know if they think somehow that quarrying/construction/whatever, or the fact it passes under high-voltage power lines necessitates the super low limit, or if they just want to discourage people from driving in general (the road is closed altogether at rush hour).

Yeah, but low chance of getting nabbed here.

I love favorite corners. There is a fairly tight S in an interchange I go through on the way home everyday where you drop into the first tight left then up over a slight hump and into a sweeping off camber right before hitting the acceleration lane for the other hwy. The car hunkers hard into the lefthander but the rear gets really skittish in the right as it unloads.

If I were doing such a corner in the MR2, I’d wrench the wheel past the point of losing grip and ride it out.

It’s not the fastest way, but I really feel that past the grip threshold is where the fun is had. Whether that’s front wheels or rear.

Doing the racing thing of staying right at the peak point of grip without losing it. Can be compared to drinking just little enough that you never get drunk. It’s responsible and safe and wise, but it’s not as exciting.

Tell me you’ve taken it sideways in the truck?

Or at least sideways in the Fiesta?

I took it in the truck one time but the memo to turn didn't quite make it to the wheels
