I love Adenauer Forst, absolutely stunning to get right. Actually, I love the whole Nordschleife, it's such an adventure.
 
Andretti Hairpin(2) Corkscrew(7,8,8a) and Rainey at Laguna. Indianapolis-Ford at Le Mans also Grand Hotel Hairpin at Monaco

Indy

High speed ring reverse, just coming out of the tunnel, with the sun blinding your view, get a good exit and it sets you up for the rest of the lap.
 
Suzuka circuit gets countless nominations, but Degner seems to be one which really pays to take a risk, but really costs when you get it wrong.

I quite enjoy the last corner of Tsukuba.

Deep forest also has a multitude of great corners, but since they don't have corner names, I will leave it at that.

I love the chicane section of Autumn ring mini.

My favourite is possibly the first sector of indy road.
 
Flugplatz has got to be up there with the best of them. Awesome fun.
Also love every corner from the final hairpin all the way to the first tunnel at trial mountain.
Great fun to drive in the XANAVI Z.

I wreck at Flugplatz 50% of the time because of what always think in my head: "Dude, I know I can go through here at full speed." It works, sometimes. :D

I forgot "Angst Kurve" at the ring. its similar to flugplatz, love commiting to it flat and getting it right.
 
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

Last corner of trial mountain is an awesome corner, in most cars you can take it almost flat out!!

and all the corners in suzuka, i think its a great track for discovering the handling characteristics of a car. and a good track for fiddling with suspension setups. works for me!!

The first section of Madrid and the twisty back section.

Driving a VW Golf around here is so much fun, you have to take a really tight line to set yourself up for the next corner and it feels extremely rewarding to get it all right.


Also another track I like is Autumn Ring, the chicanes at the start of the lap are such a good challenge and also the chicane leading to the right handed after the carrousel near the end of the lap is just epic.
 
Don't hate, I feel that london has got some good corners, the 2nd corner after the hairpin and the chicane.
 
I think what you're referring to Indianapolis. It pays to remember the names on the track- Dunlop, Tertre Rouge, Mulsanne, Indianapolis, Arnage, Porsche and Ford. Of course once in awhile a new names are added- Playstation, for example- and removed.

From what I've heard most women (and a few men) are quite impressed by those who can recite these names. Of course, you get bonus point if you an remember all the names that make up Nurburgring Nordschleife.

Cool you know all the names, but I guess you don't know where the start finish line is, because Indianapolis isn't even close to turns 6 and 7. 6 and 7 is are in The Esses, you know, the part that comes some 1:30 minutes (in prototype) before Indianapolis. Come on, turns 6 and 7 are near the start of the lap, by the time you are reaching Indianapolis. You have reach 220 mph (in prototype) 4 times. How do you mess that up like that, it's like confusing Pluto with the Moon!
 
6th and 7th turns at Le Sarthe. The way they're banked and how easy it is to ride them on the edge, I just love them.

So rest assured your favorite corners are no place near Indianapolis, they are The Esses, that's counting turn 4 as the gentel left out of the Dunlop Bridge. If you didn't count turn 4 like I did and you count it as the right hander after the Dunlop Bridge, then it is the last corner of The Esses and Tetre Rouge, which is that corner after you go under the Pays De Loire bridge on the straight after The Esses, or really the last corner before the really long straight. how ever you want to describe it as :)
 
Forgot, I do rather like Adenauer at the ring, those corners are a bit fun. Ring doesn't pop to me as a track though like others. Now I like it, don't get me wrong, but hen you see you speed and such all around, you are averaging really the same types of turning and such. To me, the perfect track would contain everything. Long straights into hard breaking, shorter straights, a big banked turn, a challenging kink. Just all those things that are experienced in racing, and it be a racey track. Encompass each of the different aspects of a race track.
