I believe at there was a similar thread in the gt5 forum. I was curious which corner is the most satisfying or fun for you guys to drive so far. As for me, I like the Pouhon sweeper at spa because of the new physics that add to it.
 
The last corner before the straight on Nordscheife. Can't remember it's name.. And Google is not working (true story). But not only is it satisfying to get it right, because I get it right.. It's also satisfying, because you gain so much time on the straight compared to if you get it slightly wrong.
 
Turn 7 on Matterhorn Rotenboden (the high speed left going downhill).
 
I'm going to go with The Cutting at Mt. Panorama, actually, both turns 3 and 4 (The Cutting).

I think the turn is called galgenkopf but I might not be right or spelled it right.
 
Wippermann, at the nordschliefe. Quick downhill right hander that test your ability to put power down concisely.
 
In GT5 I liked Antony Noghes (Monte Carlo's Turn 17) better than any other.

But since the addition of Brands Hatch I gotta say my favorite is the Sheene Curve (Turn 7)

Then again, Paddock Hill is pretty awesome, you rise to the apex, and then drop down and get flung up to Druids.
 
Wow this is interesting thread. If I had to say 1 corner I think that left corner on Nurburgring's really long home stretch. I absolutely love going full throttle at +215 mph around that bend. Not to mention the danger of touching the grass at those speeds. Definitely a thrill to drive.

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.
 
I would say Turn 2 (Griffins Bend) at bathurst. It's a high speed corner with plenty of camber and I love the exit run out over the curb right to the fence.

Either that or Pflanzgarten at the Nordschliefe
 
ONE corner? Gah!
I'm just going to go with:
Any sweeper you can use full or almost full throttle around. I love pushing physics in that regard. Tyres working so hard to not break traction!
 
Yikes...One corner? hhhhhmmmm...I don't know if it's my favorite but I really love Hohe Acht on the Nurburgring. It's a great downhill right hand turn that is a blast especially in a tail happy car.
 
Bandit already said the corkscrew :grumpy:

My second choice would be any good hairpin; Aremburg, Grand Hotel, The two smaller ones at Tsukuba, any of the ones at Grand Valley... too many to choose from.
 
Very difficult to pick just one corner, but for sure one of my favourites is Malmedy at Spa. Hard on the brakes into Les Combes -- right, left -- and then just glide right through the apex of Malmedy to arrive perfectly at the edge of the road/kerb on the exit. Such an amazing feeling.

Pouhon and the whole section from Fagnes to Stavelot is pretty incredible as well, and Eau Rouge pretty well speaks for itself. Just can't get enough of Spa, what a wonderful circuit.

I really like Wippermann on the Nordschleife, so that has to be number one for me! :)
The Karussel, Brünchen and Pflantzgarten are very nice too IMO.
A corner I like IRL, but not so much in-game is Adenauer Forst, because all the rookies crash there.
