What are your favourite corners?

[Tekku]

I made a thread a while back about the worst corners in the game, but let's turn it into a more positive subject this time. What corners do joy find enjoyable to drive through? And what makes them such a thrill?

I have so many that I don't know where to start, but I'll mention a few:

• The Chase on Mount Panorama. I just always seem to nail this section perfectly and I love how you carry the weight from the hard braking into that first uphill left corner.
• The first couple of S corners on Nordschleife. I love how fast they go and the constant manoeuvring of the steering, throttle and gear changes. I have so many favourites on this track but I'll stick with this one for now.
• The curved chicane that goes under the bridge on Tokyo Expressway East. It has a great feeling if you get the line and speed just right. Many people don't actually know how far you can push it on these two corners.
• The curved hairpin on Maggiore. It just feels like a roller-coaster turn. Also a great corner for unexpected overtakes.

Suzuka dubble right hander after the S-es

 

[Sean Renon]

Turn 1/2 at Interlagos.

 

[baldgye]

Interlagos is by far the most satisfying to drive. I do like the middle sector a lot, when you get it right, it's like riding the best roller-coaster in the world

 

[TenderLoins]

First two turns at Suzuka.

 

[NJ72]

I REALLY like the section after the Carousel through to what I call 'YouTube corner' AKA Brunnchen. The game says it's one of the most challenging sections, but it just links together so beautifully for me that it feels great.

I appreciate this is more than one corner, but still

 

[CrazyJohn]

Probably the NGK chicane at the Nürburgring because it's where I get amazing exits and overtake before the last corner.

 

[Nando deBem]

I like the fast left-righ-left uphill in Dragon Trail and Lago Maggiore.

That whole section between the 2 Carousels is brilliant.

The 1st half of Suzuka (inc. exit of hairpin).

 

[ghostrider135]

Every corner at the Nordsleife
Also Paddock Hill bend is pretty good fun when you get it just right.

That’s me if they add Spa.

I like the opening right-hand sweeper at Kyoto Miyabi. Especially since I can take it in a higher gear than the indicator suggests.

 

[stevenhiggster]

Turns 3 to 8 I think at Bathurst. Not too difficult to get spot on, but big consequences if you don't.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Berwick and Paddock Hill.

 

[zzz_pt]

Eau rouge. Oh, wait...

---

Lake Maggiore to me is the track with the highest amount of corners I enjoy per total number of corners.

Nordschleife is a classic. I have to agree that the section between both Karussells is superb.

Spoon and 130 at Suzuka are great AS well.

 

[DriftMethod]

The 1st half of Suzuka (inc. exit of hairpin).

Agreed! I used to get it wrong every time, but finally started to get the flow once I bought a wheel. To me, the DS4 doesn't do it justice.

 

[Vader86]

Maggiore, basically all of it. 'Ring GP's fast right hander, Panorama going uphill

 

[PrinceAsh7]

all of brands hatch. fun course !

 

[cleanLX]

The only corners I like are the ones which are messed up by those i am chasing. .

 

[LewisR3]

Turns 6 & 7 at Nurburging GP.

Just love the flow and then down the hill to turn 8 hairpin

 

[Jamie Bbbbb]

The second fast left-hander at Kyoto is brilliant when you get it right. Throw it in at the beginning of the corner, go a bit out wide and then bring it back to the inside on the tightening exit. It is also crucial as it leads into one of the best overtaking opportunities.

 

[Loopdreams]

Sheene Curve at Brands Hatch. Touch the brakes and turn in early, slide the car across as much kerb as you can and just hope you scrubbed off just enough speed to cling to the track after you exit. Just one of those corners that feels fast.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

Turn 1 at High Speed Ring.

 

[Hallitrd]

Dragon Trail and the high speed chicane up the hill at +200kmh with some mild oversteer.

 

[drifter_32]

All the good ones have already been mentioned.

I'll add the Bus Stop at Dragon Trail (double left hander before final wide hairpin)

In anything group 4 it's a nerve wracking corner to get exactly the right line every time and not clout the wall and ruin a race.

In group 3 its even worse because you have to roll out of the power or brake a bit at just the right point to sail through clean.

An absolute blind faith moment to go nose to tail with someone through there full tilt also

 

[Spade13]

The S-curves on Suzuka. Only because I've learned to master it and recover so much lost time during a race on that sector. Also it's awesome for drifting and tandems in online lobbies

 

[Solstice93]

The downhill section after the Carousel at Nordschleife.. never gets old.

 

[machine1121]

I love the downhill section of Mount Panorama, Skyline through Forrest's Elbow.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Turns 8-12 of Lago Maggiore II are incredible fun. Hitting the curb of turn 9 in a nimble MR car like the Cayman GT4, then suddenly braking hard into turn 10 can be so, so satisfying. Possibly the only circuit I prefer in the reverse direction out of any game in the GT series.

 

[Chris___75]

Dragon Trail and the high speed chicane up the hill at +200kmh with some mild oversteer.

I have to agree with this. I've been killed many times over in theory, but when I nail it, it is mega sweet.
