    Im assuming the riddler came first, as that kinda made sense, then the joker was pretty much what you said.

    I have used all kinds of lines through the Joker. The only thing they had in common is they all suck. There is no good way to do that turn, you can only find the least worse way. I hate it.

    Its a little better now that they widened it out for MA, but its still pretty difficult to have a consistent line I think. Its just really hard to pick your braking point on entering.

    Any name in another language is instantly way cooler. Maybe it’s just more provocative. Translating them ruins it.

    Curva Parabolica - cool.
    Parabola Turn - stupid.

    Acque Minerali - cool.
    Mineral Water - blah

    Eau Rouge - cool.
    Red water - meh.

    Raidillon - very cool
    Steep path - so dumb

    pickled egg There is no “try”

    First time I went through the bowl at FZR400 speed, I realized I needed a bit more spring…and damping.

    Brainerd being flat as a Thai hooker didn’t really prepare me for the added physics of gravity in the suspension equation. :D
