Road Atlanta, one of the country's best road courses.

Here's a harder question. Tracks that let you drift near Atlanta, GO!

Road Atlanta is very well set up
Easy to learn

But will bite you in the ass HARD if you don't respect it.

I love RA, but I place it under VIR and MO personally.

Sebring is my favorite track since it's 1.5 hours away :)

With stockish power? I haven't driven my BRZ there but I don't lift in other equal power cars :) I don't like lifting there.

T5 is actually more dangerous. T6 and T7 are fun since so many seem to be slow there. I always feel like I take T1 like shit.

For those going to RAtl, make sure you look at the T12 corner station while braking for T10 :)

I have actually seen most of the totaled cars at Road Atlanta in T1, the esses, T5, and T7. T1 can wreck your car in two ways. If you get to aggressive and end up off in the grass at exit you can head into the softer wall and if you get out on the gators or drop a wheel and try to correct you can hook back across the track and into the really hard wall near racer's pit exit. T7 and T5 are more of the same. If you have too much wheel in at the exit and you are on the gators you can shoot back across the track and into the wall. Road Atlanta is really a rather dangerous track that has claimed many a car. I would recommend a trip down to Roebling Road if you want a less intimidating track.

The screwups in 11/12 are really people being too far outside and ending up in the pit entrance and then jerking the wheel over..

5 is where I've seen the most carnage. 7 can bite too. Surprisingly I've never seen anything happen in T1 but I am always concerned :)

Road Atlanta is "easy to learn" if you just want to get around. It's a harder track to master, or even get close to mastering.

RRR I hate lol AMP is fun and safer than Road Atlanta. RRR is safer also but man do I hate that place.

I know you hate it, that is why I recommended it. I am probably going to head there to race in April.

Agreed. Haven't driven too many others but it surprised me how little room there is for error. Mind you, I have never driven my personal car there, or any car not being insured~

I learned this the hard way. Let's just say I left a mark on turn 12.
