The ultimate racing circuit corners questionaire?

This is a questionaire on racing circuit corners?

1. What do you think is the best corner in the world?
2. What do you think is the worst corner in the world?
3. What do you think is the most overated corner in the world?
4. What do you think is the most underated corner in the world?
5. What do you think is the best corner name?
6. What do you think is the worst corner name?
7. If a there is a corner with no name (eg. turn 8) what would you call it?

This questionnaire should go to those who drive these tracks. Apart from having ridden shotgun a lap of Spa on a Wednesday before the race in the early 1990s in a road car (I was still too young to drive myself then), my only other "experiences" come from onboard cameras. And onboard cameras don't transport g-forces into your living room, otherwise you'd need good setups for your sofa on each race weekend so personally, I could never say what corners are over- and underrated.

Well, that won't be a lot of use because in most games neither the way the cars handle nor the corners themselves are accurate enough to make a real assessment.

I can imagine though that my answers would be something like this if I were a well travelled racing driver:

1. Spoon Curve, Suzuka
2. Mercedes Arena, Nurburgring
3. the old Tamburello, Imola
4. McLaren/Clearways/Clark Curve, Brands Hatch indy circuit
5. 130R
6. Club (on whatever circuit it is used on)
7. dunno, probably leave it without a name

1) What do you think is the best corner in the world?

This question is tough. Real tough, but I think the best corner in the world, is Cascades at Oulton Park.

2) What do you think is the worst corner in the world?

Indy Double Hairpin

3) What do you think is the most overated corner in the world?

130R

4) What do you think is the most underated corner in the world?

Tabac, Monaco

5. What do you think is the best corner name?

Sainte Devote, Monaco

6. What do you think is the worst corner name?

Like James, most sponsored corner names.

7. If a there is a corner with no name (eg. turn 8) what would you call it?

It depends on the corner really. In the case of turn 8, I dunno - something Turkish; Bazaar or something.

Chose the right setting and let the landscape define the track. i.e. don't design it yourself look around and see the track that has already been designed by God.
