Simple. Are there any corners (real or fictional) that you would love to see a modern F1 car attempt. Just make sure that F1 cars haven't been there this century.

For me, I have been able to experiment this with rFactor. I often use F1 mods and drive other tracks.
From my experience here, I think that Druids at Oulton Park would be spectacular. Using the aforementioned game, with quite a high downforce setting it is two short blips down into 5th gear before sweeping into the first apex and swimming out wide through the second apex.
Another rFactor experience gives me Scheivlak at Zandvoort. Depending on the downforce levels, it is just flat out depending on exact timing or you are in the wall on the exit.

Any other corners you would like to see an F1 car drive.
 
F1 has already been to Oulton Park. But not recently.



Just F1 at Thruxton. As a spectator contest it would be very dull, but as a technical challenge it would be amazing.

Church corner, the fastest in the UK, in particular.

 
Maybe it's because I'm not from the United States, but I don't see the appeal of seeing F1 cars racing on ovals or bowls. IndyCar already satisfies that criterion, surely?
 
Now that it's been completely covered with tarmac, Pike's Peak.



Although it would probably have to be done at half speed, for safety.
 
Masta Kink of old Spa. Killed and nearly killed many great driver's back in the day.
 
Insanely crazy, but I think this corner would be amazing:

Of realistic choices I'd say the Porsche curves at Le Mans or the corkscrew at Laguna Seca. If not as awesome as it can be (LS), it would certainly be interesting to see :)

Porsche curves at La Sarthe :sly:

Meh, why? Corner complexes like that are pretty standard fare in F1 wouldn't you say?

It would be intense to see them busting through Indianapolis with the banking it has. They would be coming in so quick from that previous straight as well, and Arnage would be a wild spot for pass attempts in F1 as well.

Speaking of endurance circuits, I would love to see F1 cars take turn 1 of the Daytona Road Course in anger. Also, the Bus Stop would be intense. After they got rid of the Bus Stop in Spa, we don't have those style chicanes anymore. It's always impressive seeing cars bolt through them.

And... just for the scenery, I would love to see a full field of F1 cars go around Phillip Island. It wouldn't be necessarily thrilling, just so pretty against the ocean like that.

But as far as classic corners I'd love to see revisited... Peraltada, Scheivlak, Craner curves, all of Brands Hatch (talk about bottoming out).
 
I'm shocked that nobody has said any corner from Mount Panorama yet. The Esses especially would be sick
 
I'd actually really like to see F1 cars on Grand valley speedway or SSR5

Probably not the greatest tracks, but they're fun to me and I really enjoy FGT races on Grand Valley ^^;
 
I think the Jim Clark esses at Croft would be impressive to see, its already a great corner sequence to see touring cars fly through, one can only imagine an F1 car taking it flat out!
