Huh, the Turn 2-5 hairpin at Laguna Seca used to be a straight?

I 100%ed the original Gran Turismo, including the endurance races of like 2 hours listening to the same track on repeat, and the skills I developed from that have averted at least 3 accidents.

Shit like “if you crest a blind hill fast and there’s a sudden tight turn you want to tap your brakes, and the rear trying to continue its momentum through the front will force the nose down and increase downforce on the front tires enough to pull hard through the turn without losing traction and skidding”
