surely that corner in on that A1 street track, which the cars could not get around :)

I think its more down to having the balls to go falt out in the corner not how hard it is to make it around.

But they is still a great deal of joy in my like when i thread a Car through eau rouge on GTR
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

i think it's the parabolica/ monza... and the spa-eau rouge offcourse, as during the years, we've seen a lot of serious accidents over that hill, espeically with mr. villeneuve :wink:

How about Planztgarten II at the Nordschleife (in fact most of the corners here compared to modern circuits) - tricky double left cambered approach - very fast left over a crest where the track drops away and you fly some - you need perfect line and big balls here. Otherwise goodbye dear world.

Craner @ Donnington Park - very fast, tricky entry line and change of direction with dodgy cambers and an absolute need to get the exit spot on otherwise the next corner is screwed (and so is your whole lap).

Paddock @ Brands. Evil bumps and cambers in the braking zone, blind entry over a crest - very fast.

The most challanging corner in the world is the Canadain 401 highway off ramp at Rodney Ontario at 130KM in a 1976 AMC Gremlin -- the ramp is rated at 70 KM - I know - I did it in 1980 and still have nightmares about it -- several 4 whell drifts - oversteer - understeer - and 10 years taken off my life from sheer fright - The foolishness of youth. :wink:
Just a caution about safe road driving.

PS Just wanted to share.

I certainly don't question JV's steering abilities but, holy fog, those where fantastic accidents (the man admitted it himself) still, he should have known you don't take a new car that's never seen the track before and try to thread it through Eau Rouge, it just aint gonna go.

pouhon at Spa is tipped as the new Eau Rouge although I haven't seen an accident there before. It's a long hard right hander, very fast and hard to apex well: Image(the second corner on this pic)
