I have lots, but I'll just put in the ones that really stand out.

The Porsche Curve @ Sarthe
The Esses @ Infineon
Spoon curve and 130R @ Suzuka
Turn 1 @ Midfield
The entire first sector I think, at Nurb, or from the SF line to Fugplats @ Nurburgring

yo dude if you dont like it than dont read it and **** off i enjoy reading peoples favorite curves and i bet alot of other reader do to so back off and just ignore it:dunce:
This was a far less helpful and constructive post than the original by the Interceptor.
 
I just took the Falken rx-7 through that course on sport tires, and boy does the car just not like to turn... that down hill run is sweet tho...
 
I like the last portion of Le Mans. That is one of the more competitive parts of the game is the last two minutes or so of each lap. While there is always one of the sharper curves of the course that I always lose time on, I still think it is a very fun and enjoyable stretch of track in my opinion.
 
mines is pflanzgarten I where you have to brake just before the dip a little thenthen talking 2 corners after the dip flat out before you get to pflanzgarten II with the bigger dip and then take those next few corners flat out(based on a lap using a stock RS6) :)
 
I like the Spoon Corner on Suzuka, the 2 corners after the corkscrew, the 1st set of turns on the 'Ring, and the giant high-speed corner at High-Speed Ring. They are all high-speed corners, just the way I like 'em.
 
Theres a few turns that I really LOVE but can't narrow it down to one that is my favorite. But the ones that stand above the rest in my mind are:

Nurburgring - Long right hand sweeper after T1
Suzuka - Very fast downhill ish right turn before T1
Monaco - Long, fast left hander right after going uphill. Then again I love all of that track so it's hard to narrow it down to that one turn.

If you miss this apex, you hit right barrier, then left barrier, then spin.
Then you get pissed and cut the grass on the very next chicane.

Yeah, I love that corner. I remember a license test with the M5 on that thing. It was dreadful to gold, and bronze on my first tries.

But I would say the hardest corner for me is doing the 130R with the Formula GT car, at full speed like what you would see on the Japanese GP in F1. I only use 1-2 TCS, and no ASM, and my driving skills aren't exactly on par with Alonso so making the turn perfectly at 310km/h + is very difficult.

Favourite curve has to be the power / tourqe curve and how it changes when I add upgrades.
Just pure pleasure.

:lol::lol: :) :)👍
 
The second and third corners of Midfield Raceway. You can take it without lifting off in a good car, but you must hit the apex perfectly or you will be in the fence! My favourite track also - great in the DTM especially!
 
Probably the "tunnel-loop" immediantly after the straight or the downhille sharp left after the mini-straight at SSR5. Pure class if you can hold the throttle through both of them.
There is also the Porsche curves at Le Sarthe; the big loop at New York and the 90 degreee sections at New York (nail the loop right and you get the entire straightaway right, and it's a big straightaway; and if you get one 90 degree apex right then yopu will get alll of them right).
 
k i got a few more at sarthe cuz its my favorite track..:sly:

indianapolis
arnage
porsche curve
new maison blanche
esses
L'Arche chicane
La florandiere chicane

:sly: :sly: :sly:
 
I love that chicane bit about half way through tokyo.
In a decent touring car or le mans car you can take it at full acceleration.
 
the double chicane right after the S/F line at Opera Paris...can make up so much time through there if you nail it right. Course nail it wrong and you're the pinball...
 
The corkscrew at Laguna Seca. I once got a perfect angle and managed to jump the curve, but I had to brake a little. It was cool because I sort of landed on another car.
 
The double curves at the end of the straight on Apricot hill. Of course the Mrs has my favourite curves, but they're also the most dangerous.....
 
First corner on el capitan (NFI how to spell that :sly: ) and the set of 3 on the high speed ring , which ive been trying to beat the best times here of .. only got 50.184 :(
 
thinking of just one is hard ... very hard :D.

there is the second-to-third-and-fourth corner-section going uphill on Grand Valley (original) - you can do the second corner flat out, have to hit the third one right in order to get the fourth one perfecty done - or your lap will be over way to soon ;). If it works, it's so satisfying ...

and then there's Le Mans with the Indianapolis and all the excitement how fast you can go ... until the back of your car overtakes you :D
 
For me, its the Pflanzgarten at the Nurburgring. That medium-fast downhill left hander, followed by a fast right-left-right-left is just so awe-inspiring. :embarrassed: And I love taking it all flat-out in an FGT.
 
Most of my favorite corners are on Special Stage Route 5. Yes, the Nurburgring has some fun high speed corners, the Laguna Seca course is a harrowing high speed battle, but the road course feeling of the high speed chicane, the last corner, and the first corner have to be some of my absolute favorite sections in the game.

Me too. Thinks it about turns 6 and 7 on Tokyo route 4?? normal. Taken flat in the F1 car at nearly 200mph its amazing. Got to set the car up for this corner. Slows the car down at a couple of points but its definetly worth it.

270r at Suzuka feels quite similar but its only a left hander.

Here's hoping that Spa's Au Rouge makes GT5
