B C Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Gran Turismo 6 will have something really amazing. http://www.gtplanet.net/gt6-course-maker-gps-data/ A mobile app which you can log elevation and position as you drive your own car either on a local track that isnt in the game, or your favorite road, you can then upload it to the game and drive it. What are some of your favorite roads/drives either here in WI or other places you have driven?I am certainly looking forward to making a trip back home to hit up some canyon drives with this app.I grew up at the base of the mountains and was able to enjoy some incredible canyon drives. One of my favorite spots is the S-curve in Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d2515!2d-111.7248824!3d40.6341432!2m1!1e3&fid=7 I still have yet to drive through the Kettle Moraine. My favorite drive here in WI so far is on the backroads around Devils Lake. They aren't particularly technical corners, but you do get some elevation change, they are nicely paved, have little traffic, generous speed limits, and you get some surprisingly steep bank angles on some of the corners which allow you to feel some g's in pretty much any car you are driving. https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d59189!2d-89.6762165!3d43.4130796!2m1!1e3&fid=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The kettle moraine is wonderful besides a slew of terribly weather beaten roads rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 US-129 (Tail of the Dragon) 318 curves in 11 miles. Most fun I've ever had on a supermoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teatoe993 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If one ever gets to visit Maui, the Hana Highway is a must. 68 miles, over 600 curves on a 1.5 lane road through the rainforest. By far the most intense public road I've ever driven. Driving it in a rented Focus made me carsick. It puts the best stretches of the PCH to shame. And once you get to Hana, continue on the southwest coastal road (Hwy 330 & 31) to make a full circle for an even more intense experience as the tarmac disappears and you wish you were in a full rally car or a Jeep.

There are some roads about 35 minutes southwest of Madison, near the snowboarding hill Tyrol Basin, that are pretty nice. Roads arent in perfect condition, but lots of elevation and blind corners. Haven't hit any traffic the 5 times I brought the bike down there, but gravel can be an issue from the trucks and tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 thats really sweet for gran turismo. my favorite roads around here are definitely west of madison, twisty and not much traffic. most fun road i've driven on was in Colorado. it was a mix of curves with some wide open stretches along the colorado river that you could blast because you could see 1/2 mile ahead there were no cars. at the end it was gravel so you could do some sliding. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=US-6+E%2FColorado+River+Rd&daddr=Sweetwater+Rd&hl=en&ll=39.715902,-107.050781&spn=0.186712,0.363579&sll=39.789215,-107.145624&sspn=0.046628,0.090895&geocode=FRz-XAId7U2e-Q%3BFaFIXwIddeuc-Q&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=14&t=m&z=12 i drove the e30 out there so I couldnt have had a better car for it either.

YoungCR Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yup anywhere west/northwest of Madison. Especially taking the back roads out to Spring Green. Can't wait to get back in the car and blast around those hills. The Full Banana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yes, that is a road I would like to go down again. It's been my plan for the next big Madison meet, maybe this is what we could do in the spring! mkoepp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Ive always thought a picnic at Devils lake would be awesome but its not worth the park fee just to hang out for an hour or so. Post up a map/link of the route you are thinking of and see if my favorite bits are included. I would definitely be in on a nice drive out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 We should start documenting our favorite routes. I added in the county park as a starting point for a proposed meet. Once in Spring Green one could easily get lost in all the surrounding hills https://maps.google.com/maps?q=middleton+wis&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x8807a8df85a11de7:0x6a171d18f2442768,Middleton,+WI&gl=us&ei=Et6bUqmCH8flsATvvYGwAg&ved=0CKoBELYD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
