i agree, "bridge" is awesome!! got to be spot on for the next corner though as you are off balance for "priory" and still trying to brake!!

i like "redgate" at donington, a lot of people make mistakes there.

"gerrards" at mallory is fun on a bike!! i got about 95mph cranked right over!!

also on a bike "barn" at cadwell.

The best corners / bends on the "Ring" for me are :

1.Flugplatz
2.Metzgesfeld
3.Ex Muhle
4.Hohe Acht
5.Eiskurve
6.Pflanzgarten 1 - 2

the ones i fear most though are [-o<

Schwedenkreuz ( forget the braking here and the concrete wall will stop you )
Kallenhard ( look over the armico and there is a big drop )
Wippermann ( had an off here, have not got over it yet )

Not long now boys :woohoo:

From a passengers perspective :( I'd have to say Fuchsrohre to the 1st left hander over the crest at Adenaur Forst is my favourite little section.

Went with Gary in the 205 through Fuchsrohre at over 140mph (needle was off the clock :D) and thought that we would be going into Adenaur Forst at about 70mph. Looked across at the speedo - 110mph and right up on the kerb :o :D

Can you tell I'm getting excited now :lol:

Eau Rouge at Spa, simply awesome and one of the most famous in racing

Parabolica at Monza,a combination of skill,feathering the throttle and balls on how fast you can get round without over doing it on the exit :-D

And another at Monza, Ascari. Breaking for the for chicane after being flat in top gear,again, how far do you push,how late do you break? :-D

thinking about it I've got to add Paddock Hill at Brands Hatch,

really scary the first time you see just how steep it is, the TV doesnt do it justice, But so rewarding when you get it right.
