Turn 8 at Taupo when doing track 2
Turn 8 at Taupo when doing track 2
Dale Kerrigan: If there's anything Dad loved more than serenity, it was a big two stroke engine on full throttle!



Hayshed at PI, T4 at Eastern Creek and the Kink at Teretonga
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![]()

+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)

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.
I'm off to the pub, I may be sometime.
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....
+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.
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...

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.
