What's your favorite corner knee draggers, and why?

Most racers have a favorite track, but if you have a favorite corner, how about sharing which one and why?

Fark so many to choose from.

T1 at HD is awesome - very fast, blind drop off into right hander.

T2 and T3 - right left over crest, front wheel gets light - bloody cool. Probably my favourite section of any track.

The esses at Teretonga. Great place to overtake round the outside.

Race tracks need more trees on corners I say.

Got to be turn 3 at HD.
Had both wheels let go on the 250 and held it all togehter on my knee..... The biggest moment I have ever had on a motorcycle without crashing.. Yes, I was bloody close to crashing, but loved the moment.

Love turn 3 at Manfeild.
Riding around the outside of Aaron Hassen on his Ninja 250R through there at Round 1 of the Bridgestone VMCC cemented how quick I am on that corner....

T1 @ Brands Hatch (Paddock Hill) like T1 at Hampton downs but faster and about 4/5 times steeper decsent .... after your stomach has settled it gets a bashing as you bottom everything out at the bottom then the run up the hill to druids (right hand hairpin).............. awesome start to your lap.

In no particular order:
The old esses past the pits at the original Taupo circuit. But now removed.
Southern Loop Phillip Island
Lukey Heights Phillip Island
Siberia Phillip Island
Pukekohe Short Circuit sweeper and hairpin (now also defunct)
Eau Rouge / Raidillion @ Spa Francorchamps (how big are your danglies!) and such a famous bit of track.
Blanchimont @ Spa (double the size of your danglies that you need for Eau Rouge!), think 5th/top gear sweepers on higher than Puke gearing.
Taupo original circuit, the left off the main straight. 2nd gear wheelstands as it comes up off your knee, down hill to the hairpin!
Ruapuna old circuit: First left after the hairpin (is still there now I think, but I don't know what it's called).

Nothing at New Taupo or HD. Prefer Puke over both circuits.

The righthander after the bridge on the Cliffhanger. "I'm sure I can hold the throttle pinned through here"

+1 from me.

The best corner in racing for me is turn 11 at Instanbul...160mph in top gear for the truly insane.
Check it out,its the corner preceding De Angelis' banzai move on Barbera...

Very cool turn, and yes you can. On a 999s Ducati, and on an RF900 at the very least. I could not quite though on the 180+ horse, K6.

Alten Street turning right into Anzac Ave

**driftn** · 25th July 2012, 19:03

First proper corner on the cliffhanger hill climb, then first right hander on Manfield extension, Splash (lots hate it), Left hander coming off extension onto the old circuit manfield and last but not least, from turn one through to the hair pin at Taupo.
