There are of course a lot of great corners, but this high speed right turn before the road leads down to the bridge area at the Tokyo track always makes me smile.
 
Too many to decide, hmmm:
1. The esses on the Cape Ring, right after the first haipin: Always great to accelerate through at full throttle.
2. Countless corners on the Nurby Nordy:D
3. Schumacher-S on the Nurby GP, the only part of the course which I enjoy.
4. Last corner on Deep Forest: Great exit speed, can keep flat with a few cars.
5. Bus-stop and First corner on Daytona Road Course
6. Lesmos and Ascari chicane on Monza: Love getting exit speed by using the curbs.
7. Last corner on Trial Mountain: If you get it wrong, your getting air:nervous:
8. Tetre Rouge on La Sarthe: Nice speed onto the straight.
 
My favorite is all the downhill section of the Eiger K Trail, specially that really fast left hander that you can only take at full throttle if you took the previous right hander slow enough. I like it because they are really fast corners that require anticipation and delicacy with the throttle and the brakes. Beides, the view is amazing and very scary.
 
Karussell of the Nurburgring Nordschleife. Just love how fast you can take this corner if you take it the right way, which can get a bit tricky sometimes. I usually spin out if I take it too low and if I go too high I have to go very slow to not touch the wall. No other corner of any track even comes close to the challenge and fun this corner gives. :D
 
Thought about this 1 a few times over the yrs & i think the section between the 1st 2 hairpins on grand valley is right up there. Flat out up a hill leading towards the right left flick blind corner. Get it right & you're away full speed towards the 2nd hairpin. Get it oh so slightly wrong & you're onto the grass & all over the place.
 
For sheer excitement with a large dose of dread I love the Corkscrew on Laguna Seca... but I think my favourite is the Lesmo corners on Monza - so technical as a twinset :)

mine is a series of corners at Le Mans, Indianapolis-Arnage-Porsche, then the bus stop at Daytona RC(trying to take i wide open in one of the DTM/Touring Car is my dream) failed and failing to do so also any of the tuns at the "Ring". and if it makes its way to GT5 via DLC Eau Rouge and Les Combes from Spa.

frack! forgot about Andretti and the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca (Thanks grrlpurple)
 
left hander just up the hill from "foxhole" at the ring. first chicane on the mulsanne at le mans. degner 1 at suzuka, slightly even degner2. ascari chicane at monza, the lesmo series specially lesmo 2. the last chicane before the main straight at midfield.
oh man so many corners to choose from. basically every corner at the ring, monza, spa, mosport, la sarthe. i should just keep my mouth shut i could go on for days about corners.
 
Nordschleife, the right hander just after 'wipperman' :)

The part of Nordschleife from just after the Karussell and all the way to Eiskurve is just pure driving bliss. Please note that this bliss ends just before Eiskurve which instead is the worst corner ever made in the history of motorsports.
 
First corner at daytona road course, gets me every time!
But who could forget the last corner at trial mountain, that corner can speak for itself
 
At Trial Mountain, the left-hander at the end of the back straight. Approach flat out, brake hard, chuck it toward the nice big yellow hatched area on the apex... lovely bit of camber to help you out, power on up the hill, see you later...
 
the hairpin at the start of Autumn Ring Mini. i beat a veyron around mini ring with an sti by sliding :D

anything i can slam the handbrake and slide around actually.
 
Tough question actually, cause i can come up with a lot of corners I like, but the one that comes to mind right now is the last turn at Tsukuba. Don't know why but I just love it, specially with a stock e46 M3, the way your ass tends to slide there and when you control it, I just love it.
