Not a single corner but I quite like this section leading up to the straight on Twin Ring Motegi East Course.

I like how in some cars I can take that section without lifting or braking and it actually can be fun.
 
That high speed left, double right, left on streets of willow springs is pretty fun especially in a high powered car.
 
Man I feel like such a moron, ever since I was child I always thought Dingle Dell was where Sheene's Curve is. I miss early '90's BTCC so much, especially when they were curb hopping that section.

As for my favourite corner, well section of corners, it'll have to go to Maggots/Becketts on the Silverstone GP circuit.

It was though. I guess they changed it when they changed it in the last couple years.

I have two. At the same track.

1. Right hander on Dunlop Esses before you get to the first sector time split. Why? It's one of those zero gravity turns that somehow I can "feel" the car rising and ever so imminent oversteer about to come. Hard to take at full power and with different tunes as you'll snap the car to the right if you hit it too hard.

2. Indianapolis. Another one of those heavy oversteer corners especially with the extreme camber. It's super fun to go flying in only down one gear and mash the brakes. The exit is something I've yet to perfect at but I know at least what it should look like every time I go in..
 
Eau Rouge.
The esses and the dipper at Mt Panorama.

And on the Nurburgring - the whole section between after the Karussell and just before the Dottinger Hohe straight.
 
favorite single corner? each single corner as it is coming at me when I'm on the Nurburgring Nordschleife! :D
 
The Cutting on Mr. Panorama (sorry, I have to second it). So many ways to take it, so many usable lines, so many ways to pass.

The "tunnel" on Monte Carlo (Cote d'Azure) is one of the most visually stunning, however. There's something about a high speed sweeper with an ocean view behind columns flying by, before opening to a downhill vista of waterfront buildings, yachts, blue water, and sun that few tracks can match.

You might be painting Monte Carlo a but too saturated, as that water is about as blue to a dog as black is to white..

If that water isn't blue, I'll eat this blue shirt I'm wearing.

I have no clue how blue it is to a dog, I'm a human. To this human, that's some damn blue water in the picturesque French Riviera with a track featuring some of the finest racing machines men can make being driven by the most skilled drivers in the world.
 
Eau rouge-raidillon / Kemmel / Les Combes
With high downforce race car that sector is pretty special, especially when overtaking on the straight
 
Eau-rouge and raidillon (Spa-Francorchamps)

Why? Because it's the most beautiful track in the world (and I live less than an hour away from it so I know the track IRL and love it!!)
 
In GT6, the sweeper before the home straight at Tsukuba. I enjoy getting the most out of cars and in Free Run the game starts you up at speed just before that corner so there is no wasting time. So it's try the corner, make a change, and repeat.
 
Klostertal at the Nordschleife :) Blind right hander with a bump on the inside. If you get it wrong, you'll end up in the wall...

yeah but that isnt from the game (duh we all know) it just looks too... blah..

You're right, coming out of a dim tunnel (that's also a high speed sweeper) into brilliant light and this scenery is very "blah"./sarcasm

"blah" is a bunch of green on NBR. "blah" is a bunch of brown dirt around Willow Spring.

An accurate recreation of one of this earth's most beautiful destinations (that happens to have a world famous track nestled in it) is anything but "blah".

sorry but you cant tell me that this
cote_d__azur_gt5_by_whendt-d4a1jjc.jpg

looks anything like the above pictures that are real... GT cant do that (yet). The water is flat, texturless, and has no characteristics other than a greyish brown, similar to what the clouds consisted of in GT5, just blah..

I like the course along with willow (i really like the sky there for some reason) and like the nurb as well. But GT doesnt do all sceneries as good as we like to think of them. For example, go to Le Mans and sit at Indianapolis. Look at the trees... Nothing else should be said. And If you dont have the time to do that, look at the palms on the above picture, as they are "filled in" with 2d images... pretty poor by my standards if we are judging scenery now.

I like the track, just not the water textures. That is something they need to work on is that and sheen of oil and water on tracks where headlights should reflect..

you took things a little bit too out of context and defending something which should be improved, however it is not as necessary as sounds are or any other large issue. However, I dont want it to look over polished as FM, as they are the kings of that trade...
 
Eau Rouge. It's so satisfying when you nail that corner at full throttle and come out in a nice draft. It's incredibly nerve racking when you come into that corner side by side, and go through the entire corner side by side as well. Great test of skill and commitment. It's also a lot of fun to tackle it in a variety of different cars, and understanding how each car handles it best.
 
The Chase-- you either scream through it like banshee and overshoot or you scream through it like a banshee and fight the car under heavy braking down the hill and into the next corner.
