I love, for some odd reason, the third right hander at Tsukuba. There's a nice grade break about a lane off the apex that if you hit right you can carry more speed on exit than if you hit the apex normally. Its fun to hit that in a spec race and mystify people with how your pulling away on the subsequent straight.
 
Most hated is pretty much any corner in the 2nd and 3rd sector of Fuji.

Most loved, anything with a bit of positive camber that just helps you round. I love the new (old) Lesmo's on Monza 80s.
 
The Corkscrew is my least favorite corner in GT ever. I remember I failed that license test in GT2 a billion times. As for favorite corner, the 2 corner in the Test Track and Route X are the best.

P.S. I don't know where Eau Rouge is on Spa exactly, so I can't comment about it.
 
Least favourite corner is turn 1 at Daytona Road. So hard to get right, then it shreds your tyres when you do.

:cheers: Same here. Tilke was probably drunk when he drawed that.

I think those fuji corners are great because they can be taken with more than one line. Great for overtaking. Running alone you take them in one way, and defending you take it from completely another line, although its almost impossible to defend your position there

I put those different lines down to people getting lost or falling asleep mid corner :lol:

On a serious note; yes these Mickey Mouse sections encourage overtaking as cars can do some ballet dancing around eachother, but they are waaay too artificial.
 
Best:
Spa Eau Rouge/Les Combes/Malmedy/Pouhon/Fagnes/Stavelot (essentially entire course) - feels great to get these right
Monza (80s) first chicane & Lesmos - so much better...
Suzuka Esses - very satisfying
Nurburgring entire section from Karrussel to final straight (entire course is great though) - brilliant long run of beautiful track

Worst:
Monza (current) first chicane - worst type of corner imaginable, disgrace compared to former chicane
Indianapolis Road Course double hairpins - mickey mouse type stuff, terrible
Deep Forest turn 3 (left hander before first tunnel) - I hate the angle and addition of inside runoff -- ruins competitive online racing
Eiger Nordwand first sector hairpins - one after the other, come on... not fun at all

I'm sure there are many others but that's enough for now.
 
Hate: Last turn in Deep Forest (forward), 2nd turn of Cote D'Azur/Monaco, First turn of Brands Hatch

Love: Pouhon, Les Combes, 2nd Lesmo in Monza 80s, All of Apricot Hill, Esses of Grand Valley Speedway after the first turn, The fast left-right in the middle of Tokyo R246, Michael Schumacher S-curve, Chicane in SSR5, and the hairpin at Suzuka.
 
Love: Schwedenkreuz and the fast right hander at the very beginning of the track(Nordschleife), Eau Rouge & Pouhon (Spa), the super-fast chicane in the middle section of Tokyo R246 (turns 6-7), last sector of Fuji, the swimming pool section on Monaco, downhill section on Bathurst.

Hate: Brands Hatch turn 1, Mutkurve (Nordschleife), Spoon (Suzuka), Laguna Seca turn 6, Ford Kurve (Nurburgring GP), pretty much every slow chicane and Tsukuba as a whole :lol:
 
Love: Paddock Hill at Brands Hatch, Eau Rouge at Spa and the last turn of Deep Valley (forward)
Hate: Anything on Suzuka
 
Favourite corner...
The Double apex right, at the start of Pflanzgarten.
Maybe a toughie but hook them up and it repays you all the way to swallowtail.

Disliked corner...
The Monza Chicanes - Ascari isn't so bad, but the ones either side of Curva Grande -
 
Favorite corner:
The Corkscrew- I love to oversteer in that corner especially in a Viper GTSR Team Oreca and in a 787B. :sly:

Hated corner:
The last turn at Willow Springs-
 
Best; Maggotts, Becketts, Chapel sequence, and porsche curves.

Worst; The whole 3rd sector of Fuji is God awful. From the back to back hairpins with blind apex's, To the extremely forgiving runoff. Thanks, Herman Tilke. Back to back Chicanes after the popular drag strip at Indianapolis kills any chance that track had at being fun to drive. Like seriously. "Oh your going 35 mph to the right?" "Why not go 35 in the other direction!" Must say though that the somewhat recent redesign of the infield portion of the track has made it much better. Worth of F1? No Good track for MotoGP? Sure thing.
 
Favorite- Last corner before the main straight on Deep Forest.

Hated- Last corner before the main straight on Fuji.
I agree with the Fuji Speedway last corner. The whole 3rd sector in fact
 
The Esses and dipper on Mount Panorama are awesome. Pretty much every corner on Nordschliefe is awesome.

I am really bad at Monza, so I dont enjoy any of them.

I ahve no idea how anyone can hate Eau Rouge, That corner is pure perfection.
 
For the people that hate Eau Rouge; that's just because you screw it up over there and get passed on the Kemmel straight.
