There are some corners, that if you enter from outside the “racing line” you CANNOT turn tight enough with the controller to make the corner within the confines of the racing surface. No tire squeal, no slippage- just a complete lack of steering. Overestimating has nothing to do with it. Turn10 has programmed the controller inputs to allow more steering angle in certain parts of the track than others, and failed to encompass the entirety of the corner- so if you get outside of it you are simply unable to make the corner without almost coming to a stop.
Some examples:
Suzuka- the hairpin. enter late (like making a pass on the outside) and you cannot turn enoughuntil you’ve slowed to less than 35mph, and as an added bonus accelerating from the outside (right side of the lane) when exiting van cause the car to steer itself to the right (and right off the track).
Indianapolis (road course)- the left hand turn after coming off the banking (by the pit entrance). If you attempt a wide entry here (such as in a slower car trying to keep ground speed up, or passing on the outside)- you WILL drive off the track.
Kylami- Hairpin at the top of the hill. Wide entry here will usually result in you driving off into the gravel.
Daytona- First 180 degree right, and the left heading back onto the banking
Mid Ohio- I think it’s turn 4 (tight left over crest) Outside entry= lawncare business
Watkins Glenn Turn 1 (the 90) carrying too much speed through here will lead to your drivatar actually steering out of the corner rather then maintaining the input given, steering you over the rumble strips, and into a penalty, Third turn from the end on the full course is just like all the others, late entry results in no steering angle.
I am sure there are more, but these are the most irritating. It is one thing to enter a corner too hot, or lock up the brakes and lose steering because of a mistake I made, it is a completely different issue when it is a mistake by the game studio that sends me sailing off into the woods.
Grab a controller and try any of the above scenarios.
