My favourite corner - or bit of track - of all is "The Esses" at Bathurst, what's yours?
Cheers, Greg

Haven't driven on a whole lot of tracks, but my fav so far would be "The Kink" at Lakeside... in it's old "you need to be very #$%^in careful and get this spot on" form before they resurfaced and widened the track.
Closely followed by the final turn onto the straight at Carnell Raceway (Stanthorpe).

Caltex Chase I think is my favourite corner, not that i've ever driven it in anger, it's just great to see cars go into a bend at such speed!! it is close between that and Hell Corner though...

I have two (sadly both gone)
BP (before the strait) at Oran Park - if you have the grunt and gonads to let it slide out and just kiss the wall on exit
The Loop at Amaroo - stuff it up and everything is is buggered till you get to the right hander before the strait

You're spot-on there - get it wrong though ( which is what I did most times), and the next 3 or 4 corners are also 'stuffed up'.mactaylor wrote:sweeper at winton, get it right and all is good in the world.

Pepper tree corner at the old Tamworth hillclimb.....Oxley Lookout.

Caracciola Karussell at the Ring!😎
Love the History!!
Named for Rudolf Caracciola who reportedly made the corner his own by hooking the inside tyres into a drainage ditch. As more concrete was uncovered and more competitors copied him, the trend took hold. At a later reconstruction the corner was remade with real concrete banking, as it remains to this day.
