I'd like those courses too, but one thing bothers me. I like turns over
90 degrees. What would the Monaco grand prix be without it's hairpin?
What's wrong with a 180 or even 360 degree skidpad turn? I understand
the original post said only to "try" to avoid those, but I'd rather try
to include at least one such turn in every event even on large lots. I
think a steady state 180 or 360 is a work of art if done properly by a
talented driver. You often see rookies hopelessly understeering or never
achieving a tight steady line in such corners.
To me, this is one feature that separates autocross from road racing.
You can't do a 360 on a road course (on purpose). It doesn't have to be
gimmicky, just include one in the normal flow of a good course.
