Laguna seca for me !
I don’t mean to come across rudely and I also don’t have FM5 yet.
I see Bathurst as a fairly easy track…
I do have to say the concrete barriers do make it tight…
If you are like me, being Australian and have grown up around Bathurst on TV, I have learnt the track that way.
Then, once I started playing V8 Supercars 3, I wasn’t too shabby/
I play Real Racing 3, which has Bathurst on it and I don’t have too much trouble, neither on GT6
My best tip for Bathurst is, learn it…, watch some videos of the V8’s racing around.
Just my two cents.
Sorry for the rant.
Now even though, I have barely played FM5 (I don’t have it), I have only played the Demo…
I would have to say, I struggle with Prague
i don’t really have a nemesis track but the one corner in this game that i absolutely hate is the last turn after that short straight on sebring raceway why is it so bumpy ?!
Does anyone else have a nemesis track? Mine is the longest Silverstone track. It is driving me batty. In A class I think I am stuck at 1:19+
So what is your nemesis the one track you just cannot figure out and why?
I LOVE the track but I stink at it. There are the 3 turns before the straight that for some reason I started calling the 3 Mary’s for some reason. I love catching those turns perfectly so that you kind of glide through there regardless of class and at the right moment you boot it and haul down that straight.
Having said that I have a lot of trouble getting top times with it. I think I am top 2% in A class now but I am WAY off the 1%ers.
I can’t seem to find the secret sauce to using the KTM. I always end up not being able to properly manage the torque right after turns.
I personally hate bathurst. Its not because the track is bad i just have a hard time on that track for some reason. Its just a mental thing but i dont really like that track at all. Im guessing its becasue the 1st corner is just horrible to enter with other racers on the track.
Bathurst,end of story!
I think the majority answer will be Bathurst. That’s mine as well.
Without a doubt, my nemesis track would be the Bernese Alps. Don’t know what it is about the first and last sweeper on the Festival variant that screws me up, but it drives me insane. Only track I have had consistent trouble beating friends’ rivals times on.
About Bathurst… having played that track in prior racing games, I don’t mind it nearly as much as most people, in fact I really like the track. But I understand the frustration with all the elevation/narrow roads for those who haven’t run it before. Especially trying to do rivals on it! 
Yas Marina… How do people take the hair-pin chicanes at such high speeds and not crash into someone or go wide of the track and into the wall?!
I don’t like any of the Top Gear tracks despite living the show. It’s a complete wreckfest online. I also don’t like Bathurst online for the wrecks in the first turn and not really having anywhere but two places for me to pass on the rest of the track with my driving style so I end up stuck behind slow traffic until then. Aggravating. I could hot lap it all day long though.

Bathurst & for some reason Old LeMans…
Nürburgring used to kill me too… was glad to see that one left out…
Bernese Alps reverse…The corner before the tunnel. Even back to the FM4 demo I could not get the dam corner right. I don’t think I have EVER taken it the same way and hate that corner with a passion!
+1
hate the concrete barriers in the hill section
Mine is Nas Marina! I hate the tight turns.
For those who hate the first turn of Bathurst. The official name is Hell corner because in real life it is hell to get around when racing, so many crashes over the years there.
Mine is Laguna Seca, I`m not bad at it, however when racing in rivals the corner before the straight leading up to the corkscrew is where I lose a lot of time (I think maybe up to 0.5 against my immediate rivals) irrespective of class, I have watched others and no matter what I do I am never as quick through that one corner
Yas Marina, I just cannot get any real momentum there. All those sharp chicanes and what seems like every turn being 90 degrees, annoys the heck out of me.
I hate Bernese Alps, each and every version.
It is not like I perform badly on the track, actually I get good results, but it’s stronger than me, I really can’t stand a lot of sections. The only version I tolerate is Festival - R
My nemesis is most definitely Bathurst. I hate that track and cringe every time it wins the vote in a lobby. It’s bad enough in Rivals but in multiplayer/career it is just a mess.
Bath in the beginning…now its fine, even fun… Yas was the pita but…meh… I’ve almost got it…not great but working on it…but that top gear track…so flat…and I always seem to get a little confused as to where the tracks going…
I can’t get the bugatti circuit right, and Bathurst is tricky, but fun to try and hot lap around
