Quote from 96 GTS :

I wouldn't mind taking out the one I spoke of earlier, on FE Green coming up away from the beach, the chicane around the tree, that one is just strange.

I agree with that. It's fun to drive through on the reverse config, and can create some interesting "you lift"-"No you lift!" situations on the run from the left hander before it, but I reckon that part would be even better to race through in both directions without that chicane.

I think the problem is to figure out how much realism would still be fun. I remember trying Imola with GTR2 and I can't say it was nice. Parkinglot exercises are not my favorite occupation. I understand IRL they serve their purpose but for me there is no risk and I don't really consider them a challenge.

It would be interesting to change an LFS track so that it has the chicanes at the right spot and with the right speed reduction. I wouldn't be surprised when a lot of people would beg to have them removed.

In the end chicanes were invented to remove the adrenaline parts from tracks were IRL people could get killed or at least seriously hurt. But when you know, for example, the reputation of a turn like Masta within the GPL community, it is possible that these risky situations is what Sim Racing is all about.

I totally do NOT agree.

For one thing, chicanes are so much fun!
