ooh... exciting thread!

my top 3 of my limited experience:

Turn 7 at Taupo..... was LB's too

Dunlop at Manfeild..... I love scraping everything while rolling on the throttle and gritting my teeth!

Turn 1 at Hampton Downs..... soo much fun flying down the hill accelerating hard past the concrete wall

**Sarah311** · 25th July 2012, 20:46

In no particular order:
T1 snd T5 Hampton Downs
T7 Taupo - fast
T1 Teretonga
T2 Manfield on the way to Splash, and Dunlop

+1 Also turn one at the cliffhanger, shoulder being whipped by the long grass, even an old coot like me can be Joey Dunlop for a few seconds

(dont get my kneee down though

)
Left hander coming back onto the main track from the extension at Manfeild, turn one at HD, scared the shit out of me the first few times, but cool once get a bit used to it, not many blind downhill corners that I like !!!
Oh yeah turn one/two at Manfeild (Its almost one corner)

+1. I'd also add T1 at Eastern Creek in Sydney

In NZ, It would have to be the fast left hander at Taupo - T8 I think or Dunlop at Manfeild.

dunlop at manfeild, difficult corner if your not aggressive on entry you get passed but easy to run wide in middle of corner. also last three corners at taupo, lots of options for passing on either side.

**koba** · 27th July 2012, 01:03

The entire infield of Roy's Hill in Hastings (Kart Track). It can be taken as one corner; cool.

Next is everything uphill of the bridge at the Cliffhanger, all full throttle on 400 and scary as all hell.

Definitely turn 1 at Brands Hatch and Down through the dip.
Best track for me is Donnington from turn 1 through Craner Curves then scrape everything through The Old Hairpin (that's not a hairpin) up the hill, pass everyone through the right hander at the top of the hill and then brake for Coppice that you can't see because of the rise in front of you. I'm getting a rise just thinking of it. As I said, the whole track is wicked!!! Think I should go back to watch IOM TT and do a few more laps at Donnington....

**SWERVE** · 27th July 2012, 13:04

+1 Bones
Donington is an awesome circuit. Not a bad corner on it (old circuit that is) Also love the old Oulton Park for the elevation and blind crests...and the banked hairpin.
And every corner on the Nurburgring.......... unless some car driver is trying to sneak up the inside.

**jellywrestler** · 28th July 2012, 22:12

Turn one at Teretonga and the Esses at Wanganui,

Off the front straight at levels always tested my undies, in a good way, that's when I wasn't racing commando of course...

Eewww... sweaty leather....

Final turn at hampton downs,

A dab of brakes, tip it in and open the throttle. Best corner in NZ for pulling awesome powerslides once the rear tyre had gone off.
