What's your favourite corner?
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'.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

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.
