They're for idiots.
Post your favourite corner. Why you like it, a map with it highlighted, etc. is all part of what you can post.

My favourite is Adenhauer Forst, that chicane after the downhill straight. It's very scenic, and if you come into it too hard after the fast straight, you're boned.
<map coming soon>
 
Probably the slight right turn before the huge straight away at Nurburgring. It just reminds me that I'm almost done lol.

Other then that, the last hard left on Laguna Seca right before the straight.
 
The infamous Corkscrew. It's a difficult corner, and most noobs fly off on their first try, but the feeling of mastering the Corckscrew time after time, in a RUF, it's one of the best feelings one can achive. I get a feeling of pure awesomeness everytime I think about it.
 
If you do overshoot it, you've got a lot of sand to cover to get back. It's massive, that runoff.
 
The uphill righthander that puts you on that massive Front straight at Midfield,magic:sly:
 
Corner after the second tunnel at GVS for me. Something about coming out of there onto that bridge... I don't know exactly what it is, but I love it.
 
+1 to that^. I also love the long rising corner on Autumn Ring :dopey:
 
The mountain corner on el capitan!

And the left hander right after it
 
my Favorite corner of all gt4 is the ones are circuit de la sarthe

-The uphill right/left leading up to the tunnel on El Capitain Normal.
 
The entire run up through Beau Rivage and Massenet, then to Casino.
 
I love doing the High Speed Ring Left Turn right after start the long straith.

Tuned the Minolta so that it gets sideways going over 230 mph
and still in control :D

Overall fun "sideways" track for LM super cars
 
I don't have any one particular favourite, so I'll post my Greatest Hits:

- The Akasaka Palace-Marunouci Subway Line complex at Tokyo R246. It's a right-kink with a flat-out left up the hill an then a right-hander where you just miss scraping the wall on the outside and then use the throttle to haul yourself through.
- Suzuka; all of it. Even the Casio Triangle.
- Kallenhard-Exmuhle on the 'Ring; likewise Klostertal and Wipperman. There's a kind of rhythm to them that just feels right. Plenty of fun in any car, but my personal favourites are the DTMs.
- The insanely narrow downhill section on Citta di Aria, just before that almighty straight. It's hell if you get it wrong, but you feel kind of cocky if you put every wheel right. It makes or breaks the lap.
- Georges V Paris might seem like an odd place for a favourite corner, but the Rue Newton/Rue Gallen corner - the one through the blind intersection - is also great. It's the one corner on the circuit where you can have a go and not risk messing it up.
- Haiphong Road/Nathan Road on Hong Kong and the turn off the Waterfront. Both are blind, both are sharp, and when you get it right, both are quick.
- Turn 1/Turn 2 at Apricot Hill. I've loved it since its debut in Gran Turismo 2, but my only complaint is that the GT4 iteration makes the cars look comically small.
- The final section on El Captain, because of the way the car reacts at speed.
- Porsche Curves and Maison Blanche at Le Mans, because to take it at full speed means you're on the very limits of adhesion.
- The final corner at Motegi because it looks innocet but is really easy to screw up.
 
So many favorites. Off the top of my head I think of the hairpin on the far side of Grand Valley. I've got it down well and can usually gain a lot on the AI there.
 
I like the Karusell (sp?) on the Nurb, immense corner that, if you catch it right you ground as you exit, just showing how much camber is on it!
 
My Top 3 would be:

1. El Capitan, around the right hander AFTER the tunnel. The best corner to overtake AI at any time in the game, just get the line right and mash that pedal.

2. Laguna Seca's left hander before the infamous corkscrew. Even after all this time and so many attempts, still so easy to overshoot and mess up for me, the line has to be perfect. :O

3. Midfield's left right dogleg coming onto the main straight.....playing TT recently has given me a new respect for this corner after abusing it through my GT playing time to get max speed down the straight. It's inspired me to drive it differently now.
 
My favourite is the infamous Corkscrew at Laguna Seca.Always able to leave the AI behind in this corner
 
The back corners of Motegi (the S's) and the Kingdom Chicane on Seattle circuit
 
El Capitan, for sure, most of the cars has its tires floating in the top of the hill.
 
My favorite corner is a straight line :sly:
 
1. Hohe-Acht at the Ring'
2. Mutkurve, going from 240 down to 150-160 on that corner is pretty hair raising...
3. Indianapolis(spelling?) section of La sarthe, I think that is what it's called...
 
I wonder whether I'm the only one with a penchant for taking childish airborne shortcuts over that last right, erm, "corner" of Trial Mountain...

No, you're not. :cool: I love that corner too, but top of the mountain just kills it compared to the last right hander. It is a tricky corner setting up for that last left hander before the straight!! 👍
 
I've always liked the first downward sloping series of turns on Midfield reverse.
Kind of like the corkscrew, but faster.

The airborn facter is kinda fun too.
 
The right corner after the pit at Tsukuba circuit. I love it becuse i can master it with amazing speed and get best laptimes ever. ^^
 
My favourite has got to be, the first hugely banked corner on the Nurburg Ring. I think its the Karousel (can't spell sorry). It's just class. It's quite funny when you end up going sideways on that corner :D
 
i love the grouping of corners halfway around deep forest raceway, perfect for track racing, perfect for drifting.
 
The chicane at the end of the Suzuka Circuit. Great overtaking zone for me. I make some dramatic wins from passing through this set of corners.
