That corner on HWY-9 is commonly referred to as NOOB corner. Often avoided by locals, that guardrail has seen the death of many high-end vehicles. Most notable was probably the GTR that raced downsti lol, car didn't get totalled but was severely damaged.

4th corner from the downtown straightaway, left hander slightly off camber and slightly blind. Most drivers make the mistake of lifting slightly as its decreasing radius, even with StarSpec or RS3 UHP tires, the cars tend to slide softly into the guardrail, and then lose control arms/wheels on the concrete bridge post...

I know that turn well. You can always, always tell who's driven highway 9 and who hasn't. Most people literally don't know what they're doing up there. Then again, if you do, you can drive a monster truck up and down that road at mach 5.
