Where`s your favourite bend or sequence of corners?

[Painter38]

Mine would probably be some of the esses on the Boston to Horncastle road near Scrivelsby.

Or Paddock at Brands.

[brisel]

So many good roads.

Some ace ones from Bardney to Baumber and north onto the B1225 since you mention that part of Lincolnshire.

Here, both ways, on my commute:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Blandford+Forum+...

70-80 deg bend right, hump bridge, 70-80 deg bend left, if you don't want to click the link.

Driven it most days since 2002 and it still makes me giggle and think of Scalextric.

One of my favourites over the years visiting family in S. Wales is on the A4059:-

Here

In either direction, with no oncoming traffic, use all the road and take a racing line. Great visibility through the corner. Friendly camber as well.

I love the A4096, Black Mountain Pass.
Although to be honest, most of the A roads in Wales (in the moors) provide amazing bends.

TT course, from bungalow to Kate’s. Especially from the right hander at top of Hailwood’s rise, through the 3 very fast left-handers and into windy corner. Not sure I breath through the whole lot
Epic during the TT festival when it’s one way and derestricted.

Where is that please? Tarrant Valley?

On the road from Blandford to the old airfield.

I loved the Mickleham Bends on the A24 between Leatherhead and Dorking, but now the Southbound carriageway is reduced to one lane and has a 50mph speed limit and cameras it is just "meh".

The road sign at the beginning allegedly inspired 10CC to come up with "Deceptive Bends".

Whether that is true or not I used to love ragging RD Yamahas along that stretch in the late 70s to go to Box Hill on a Sunday morning and watch the lunacy while sitting on the bank - happy days!

Coppice. It was my first ever experience of a blind entry. Leap of faith

[coppice]

I love it too. But you might already have guessed that....

Not only is it sublime to drive , it is also wonderful to watch racing from . I thought I was a hero the first time I scraped in at 100mph in my R400 . So a bit of a shock to chat to one of the leading Clubman racers and learn that his data logging showed his slicks and wings Mallock entering at 134mph ...

Always someone faster. Years back one lad was moaning and groaning about the fueling and the thing wouldn't drive out of corners. We showed him the throttle trace and corner speeds of the two other guys. Always liked the data, easy to look at almost impossible to master.

Anyway it stopped the moans.

[mmm-five]

I like the sequence of corners from the exit of Karussel up to Hohe Acht and all the way to Schwalbenschwanz.

So, Karussel, Hohe Acht, Hedwigshohe, Wipperman, Eschbach, Brunnchen, Pflantzgarten, Steffan-Bellof-S, Schwalbenschwanz.

[mywifeshusband]

Ballacraine to Parliament Square. I’ve not been for a few years but was planning on going to the TT Classic in August.
Next year.........

[Allyc85]

These esses on the B3223 north of Simonsbath.

Or this "chicane" on the A396, on the way to Exmoor.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/B3223/@51.003215...

Both brilliant roads, when driven at the right time!

[mrtwisty]

B5055 Monyash to Bakewell. Several very well sighted sets of corners with positive camber, good surface and elevation change. Also, crucially, tight enough that you dont have to be doing silly speeds to really enjoy it.

[Gad-Westy]

Melmerby to Hartside on the A686. That direction is up hill so you can really lean on a car on the exits and far less abusive on brakes. Suits a lighter car best. Heavy cars tend to really show their weight on that stretch.

[Zetec-S]

Zig Zag Hill, North Dorset. Perhaps not my favourite but it's definitely up there. I tend to drive it most days.
