The Greatest Race Track Corners In The World, As Chosen By You
Laguna Seca – The Corkscrew
“The Corkscrew on Laguna Seca, not that I have been there for real. But in games I love the way you enter, then drop down to the next corner.”
“Easy! It’s the Mountain at Cadwell. Because flight.”
The Carousel - Nurburgring
“It has to be the Carousel because it’s always a treat to watch cars go around bobbing its nuts off.”
Ballagarey – Mountain Course
As suggested by our very own Neil Winn: “Ballagarey at the Isle of Man TT. Incredibly fast, blind and off camber on the exit.”
Porsche Curves – Circuit de la Sarthe
“Porsche Curves on Circuit De La Sarthe because it’s very hard to master and in an endurance race, racers tend to make mistakes and run off. But these corners are so rewarding once you get them correct!”
Curva Grande – Monza
“My favourite is Monza’s second corner, Curva Grande. One of the places where you see how much balls you have… and downforce.”
Paddock Hill Bend – Brands Hatch
“Paddock hill bend, amazing corner to watch and mental to drive….as I found out.”
Last corner – Tsukuba
“Last corner of Tsukuba because mad drift.”
Backen - Ring Knutstorp
“Backen at Ring Knutstorp. Sharply banked corner that feels incredibly fast right after Litokurvan.”
Senna S – Interlagos
“The Senna S at Interlagos, because it was designed by the legend and because it is a technical turn.”
“Lisoba on Macau Guia Circuit. Experienced racers like Rob Huff and Edoardo Motara can hold it around the outside to make a spectacular move in this extremely narrow corner.”
Final chicane – Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
“Wall of Champions (final chicane) in Montreal! So tricky, and still fun to drive.”
Forrest Elbow – Mount Panorama
“Forrest Elbow at Mount Panorama (Bathurst), crazy elevation change and the last corner onto the massive Conrod Straight.”
Fairmont Hairpin – Circuit de Monaco
“Fairmont Hairpin in Monaco. The slowest corner in the world (I think).”
Turn 8 – Istanbul Park
“Turn 8, Turkey, Istanbul. Those G-forces are mad!”
130R – Suzuka
“130R at Suzuka because you have to have some serious balls to keep your foot in the throttle.”
Eau Rouge – Spa
“Eau Rouge, it’s a blind flat out corner (if you have the balls) uphill which after that is onto a long straight.”

Comments
i think for monza would have been better the Ascari chicane (because you have to do it well if you wanna launch yourself even better in the consequent straight) or the Parabolica (especially with bikes you see a lot of desperates overtake attempt in the last lap)
The Laguna seca picture reminds me of…..
ah the good ol’ days…
what the hell XD
human centipide?
No Top Gear test track corners? Gambon? Hammerhead? :’(
Hammerhead is great! It really tests car’s ability to manage wight transfer under hard cornering
Me and my family have been to Ring Knutstorp nearly every summer, because we went camping in Röstanga, and last year I was out in a 500 HP FWD Golf. The track is absolutely mental. Sadly I want be going there this year.
wait !!! where are the top gear lap corners??????????
I have the chance to experience Turn 8 in Istanbul Park once a month during track days, I am a lucky guy! I wish it was still in the F1 calendar though…
It was a great track for F1, a shame it didn’t work out
Do corners that no longer exist count?? I mean, that have been eliminated from a track.
If they do I would add the “peraltada” (the canted) from the old mexican gp track
As well as Tamburello in Imola/San Marino
Watkins Glen Bus Stop?
If anything from the Glen deserves to be on here it’s turn 7 (?) The uphill right hander
Seriously guys? Where’s the hammerhead?
Or gambon
Forgetting the Mulsanne corner I see……
