[@okaythen001]

What's the difficulty level for Charleston Peak full course ? from 1 to 10 vs other courses.

@@okaythen001 it’s the most challenging and rewarding course that I’ve run. It very quickly became my favorite track and nothing else comes close.

@@swiftbrian More challenging vs other courses? that's interesting can you elaborate more, like more technical etc? The 3 blind uphills look dangerous to me, if someone spun out there you can't see, so you gotta pay very close attention to flags. I am a beginner so....

@@okaythen001 yes, definitely more technical. High corner volume makes it difficult to pick up for a first timer as it is, especially with limited overall track experience. Throw in the off camber and blind corners and it makes for a very technical and difficult course. It’s not uncommon to have cars off track through the blind uphill complex and I have had close calls with cars running cool down laps at residential speeds in that section. It’s also common to see spins in turns 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 in my experience, especially in colder morning sessions. Sight lines allow you to scan a few corners ahead for flags, but typically you’ll see dust clouds way before any flags. It’s a lot for a beginner, but certainly doable and relatively low risk. Like any track, take it slow until you’re comfortable and gradually add speed. If you can get quick at Charleston Peak I think you’ll have a very easy time getting up to speed anywhere else.

@@swiftbrian Yeah so the guy in front was doing cool down lap, you were still going, no one did anyting wrong so flag person didn't give warning like car ahead is very slow or anything right? that's so dangerous for the 3 blind turns ! Sometimes I miss one light/flag then I catch up on the next, I guess I need to watch every single one of them! anyways thanks so much that helped me a lot
